I visited fullpage chat, and viewing the source I found
an interesting set of HTML. After setting a cookie to
automatically log me in, I modified it a bit
and now have Chatterbox frames on my Windows Desktop.
How useless! How cool! Here is my modified HTML. 

<HTML>
<BASE HREF="http://www.perlmonks.org/">
<FRAMESET ROWS="150,*">
 <FRAME SRC="index.pl?node=ad_and_talk&displaytype=raw" 
MARGINWIDTH=0 MARGINHEIGHT=0 SCROLLING=yes>
 <FRAMESET COLS="80%,20%">
  <FRAMESET ROWS="1%,99%">
   <FRAME SRC="index.pl?node=showprivatemessages&displaytype=raw&type=
+superdoc">
   <FRAME SRC="index.pl?node=showchatmessages&displaytype=raw">
  </FRAMESET>
 <FRAME SRC="index.pl?node=showotherusers&displaytype=raw">
 </FRAMESET>
 <!-- <FRAME 
SRC="index.pl?node=talk+links&amp;amp;
amp;amp;amp;amp;displaytype=raw"> -->
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>

  1. Copied the HTML to a file and saved it in Windows Favorites as *.html.
  2. Added the BASE REF tag
  3. Added the page to Desktop Properties Web content.
  4. Logged in and saved a cookie.
  5. Fiddled with frame sizes and commented out vroom's disclaimer frame (and deleted the corresponding size attribute).

Theoretically, Windows should allow me to make the page
into a full background. I didn't want that, but my
experiments failed anyway.
