It was probably an Eterm, associated with the Enlightenment WM.   It
will grab the desktop if you've set it
through enlightenment or gnome.  It will not grab it if you set the
background through, say xv.  I'm not sure under what other conditions it
will grab the desktop background.

You can configure themes (they are in ~/.Eterm/themes on my system, as
well as some global files somewhere), and invoke one with the -t option.

Hope that helps.
