No, this is not what I want... This is a Swing cross-platform
application, without native bindings. It operates inside it's own window
(which is considered by window manager as an ordinary window and
displayed on taskbar). This window is used as a container. I did not
manage to move widget out of container, right onto desktop. 
>From the other side, screenlets use GTK objects (gtk.Window, GObject and
etc.) from PyGtk, PyCairo and so on. Such bindings exists in java-gnome
too, and I wonder is it possible to write a similar program on java?

One more question. Will functions for creating non-regular native
windows ever be implemented in java-gnome?

Thank you for answer. But this is not quite suitable for me... At first
I did not manage to get it work (java.lang.IllegalStateException: Can't
get Drawable). But I will try again. Besides, I think that such
functions should be implemented in java-gnome because such functions
exists in gtk API (gdk_window_input_shape_combine_mask (), and so on).
So, can I ask developers to implement such feature in java-gnome?
