Change the window level. (setLevel: or setLayer: or something like
that). Somewhere in CoreGraphics, there's a couple of constants like
kCGDesktopWindowLevel, kCGDesktopIconsWindowLevel (or something to
that effect), and if you use that level, your window can be behind the
desktop (pretty pointless, usually), between the desktop and the
Finder's icons, or immediately in front of the icons but behind other
windows. There are other window levels that let you do even cooler
things.

The bad thing about having your window/view between the desktop and
icons is that if you have any icons on top of your window/view, if you
try to click on the icon, the click goes through the icon and activates
your window/view. If you're going for something that'll cover the
entire desktop, that will definitely be a problem.
