The only thing I've heard of that does such a thing would be the dev. 
version of Enlightenment 17.?.  It has something called the desktop 
shell, and  based on what I've seen it makes your desktop  background an 
interactive shell.

I would guess you should be able to do the same thing with a huge xterm 
gnome, kde, eterm, you choose) by selecting an appropriate font, and 
setting the stacking to below.  Don't know if that will actually work, 
but give it a try.

I didn't have to buy my radio from a specific company to listen
to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
