Doing things like that on unixoid OS's is not a big trick, it's just what they
are made for.
The windows system on a unixoid OS is just a server and you have to tell them
what to display.
All that fancy login screens and desktops are just apps running on top of the
windows manager.
It's a kind of put different tasks in different levels.
Login screen -> kind of fancy visual block of the machine
Desktop -> basic OS management (start apps, shutdown system, logout)
So you can run a light weight windows manager of your choice in the background
make the ui using it bypassing the login and desktop app.
Of course, then you have to include all the basic OS management like shutdown,
reboot, run another app, switch to console etc into your UI.
