Perhaps you could have your application put for windows on the screen 
(with windeco's turned off of course). Each could be on one side of the 
desktop. These windows could be the place to draw your stuff. If needed, 
they could all have a transparent background.
Otherwise, I do not see how you would keep it possible to interact with 
the desktop and everything that is in there.

Of course, if you have access to the window manager, *that* would 
probably be the place to hack this kind of stuff into...
