Make a terminal window 'un-hideable'

I've been trying to get a fully embedded terminal sitting on my desktop. After searching around for some tips I finally almost have it: xfce4-terminal --hide-menubar --hide-borders --hide-toolbars --title=dt --working-directory /root & sleep 1 wmctrl -r dt -e 0,200,200,500,500 & wmctrl -r dt -b add,sticky,below & wmctrl -r dt -b add,skip_pager,skip_taskbar & It keeps a terminal without borders etc. constantly below everything else. It also doesn't appear in taskbar etc. My only problem is that I have a habit a using my "Hide all windows" shortcut quite a lot, and that still hides the embedded terminal, which kinda beats the purpose. Any suggestions to make an "un-hideable" terminal window? Hackish stuff welcome. EDIT: My first thought was to replace Gnome's "hide all windows" with my own bash script that would hide all windows and then immediately re-show the terminal using wmctrl. From the docs: wmctrl -r dt -b toggle,hidden should work, however it doesn't. Looking on the net it appears that it's a confirmed bug, it doesn't work now and wmctrl hasn't been updated in two years meaning it's unlikely to ever get fixed. *(NB: I use Debian, Gnome, Metacity and Compton composite manager)*
