I think you should modify the source, there's a gconf option that can
display your home dir as your desktop, but i know, it's not what you
are asking.
With Sawfish i think you can achieve something, i mean, you can have
different maximized Nautilus windows opened on different workspaces,
without frame decoration. For Metacity you can try to use Ross Burton
utility (IIRC Devil's Pie, should be packaged on Debian) to modify
windows properties, but i don't know if it could be up the task... =)
