In KDE 2, you can start an application (window) without borders like this:

        kstart --type Override <appname>

So for example, to start a transparent Konsole without borders eterm-style,
you could say...

        kstart --skiptaskbar --skippager --alldesktops --type Override konsole

...then remove Menubar, Toolbar, Frame and Scrollbar, and finally make it 
transparent by choosing "Transparent Konsole" from Schema-menu.
