I think that there is a need for a new window type in the EWMH for desktop applet-style windows that should behave as though "embedded" in the desktop window. This would probably mean a window layer below that for STATE_BELOW windows but above that for TYPE_DESKTOP windows, and would provide other useful semantics such as ignoring the window for window placement purposes, not putting the window into Alt-tab list, not decorating the window, etc.
I would propose _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_EMBEDDED or perhaps _NET_WM_WINDOW_TYPE_DESKLET. Comments?
