Do you really need that? Have you tried -multiwindow or -rootless? These
options will allow you to still see your Windows desktop and other Windows
apps behind your X apps.
Use -multiwindow if you are not using a separate window manager
Use -rootless if you are using a separate window manager
If you are using XDM it usually starts a separate window manager for you,
so try it with -rootless.
