Basically they will have a shell open that is set to some level of transparency. The decorations would be turned off (Not sure how to do this on KDE, but i know you can setup a keyboard shortcut on fluxbox). With this, this would be how they would appear to have it on the background. It's basically a shell that's opened that's made such that u can barely see the shell, but obviously can see the text on it.
Try looking into aterm or something like that."I am not an alcoholic, alcoholics go to meetings"
