Unless we ask where to put the drawings?
I used to use torsmo, a system monitor (where I saw
the C code to find the wm "root" window) and it asks
you where to put the monitor.

This could be a problem. But just if the user make a
wrong user of the tool that it adds to his/her
desktop. I think the bigger problem will be handle all
the ways the wm's deal with that question. Maybe a lot
of effort for not so much use. 

Buuuut ... if it works fine, we can make some desklets
using Ruby. ;-)
