This would be something called the "background actor". Unfortunately, it's
not a container, nor does it look like you can set it to another actor... so
you have to patch mutter somehow
There are a few approaches you could take:
1) Add a new API to set the background_actor. You'd just have to make sure
that no code assumes the background_actor is an instance of
MetaBackgroundActor. To a limited grep, it looks like window-group.c makes
this assumption... but that looks easy enough to change.
The JS side:
Meta.set_background_actor_for_screen(global.screen).add_actor(rainmeter);
2) Add a new background_group that either sits above or contains the
background_group, and add new API to use it. You'd modify
sync_actor_syncing, and add a new method,
meta_get_background_actor_for_screen.
The JS side:
Meta.get_background_group_for_screen(global.screen).add_actor(this.rainmeter)
