Try installing Screenlets.

@ the terminal
sudo apt-get install screenlets

Also you could change your GDM Screen and such
Check out http://www.gnome-look.org/ for some ideas

Surprisingly not. Got it to work pretty nicely on my moms P3. You don't even notice the draw on anything current.

What you're probably looking for is something like AWM (Avant Window Manager). It acts much like the OSX Window Manager. The one in the pic is one kinda like AWM but I dont know the name off the top of my head.
