I searched the mailing-list and the web but couldn't figure out if it's possible to embed an application right on the background image.

Sort of. You can't "embed an application ... on the background", but you can create a borderless window and set its level to get a similar effect.


I don't think there's a NS...WindowLevel constant that applies, so you'll have to play around a little to get that right. It's probably worthwhile to file a bug requesting a symbolic constant for this.

Focusing the window and typing into it should work fine, although (as the window is so low down) keeping it visible may prove somewhat of a problem. By default, Expose will probably move your window offscreen along with everything else - I'm not sure offhand how you can disable this.
