Not sure what you mean by "background mode", on the root window ? I guess 
it could be obtained with some Style options.

About putting text labels, I have some, which are realized via 
FvwmButtons. Namely I have one called MyLabel which puts a motto in a 
random font on the bottom left of each page, and one called MyDesk which 
puts the desktop name in the bottom right corner (and updates 
automatically when I switch desk)

I have forgottem how I did it, but you can get a feeling of the look in
http://sax.iasf-milano.inaf.it/~lucio/WWW/Opinions/window.html#tre
and further down there is a link to the config file which does that

Feel free to inspire ... but expect no more support :-)

Hope it helps
