What I'm after, is a way to force my window over everything else, remove its decorations, and set it at 0,0
I am running Neverwinter Nights, and have it working on one desktop whilst I can view IRC or the Web on the other desktop using twinview .. but without turning off the window decorations, I can't see the button bar on the bottom of the screen.
Any suggestions on how I can take control over the window?

Well.. your question inspired me to tackle this issue..
I'm not a Gnome-user myself so it may be I'm missing some more obvious solution here..
Anyway, using DevilsPie (http://burtonini.com/blog/computers/devilspie) I got the result you're asking..
sudo apt-get install devilspie
mkdir ~/.devilspie
vim ~/.devilspie/maximize.ds
In this file I have the following lines..
(if
(is (application_name) "Firefox")
(begin
(fullscreen)
)
This works for Firefox, it will cover the hole screen, obviously you need to replace "Firefox" with the name of the neverwinter-window.
A couple of links that got me going..

Try this command:
wmctrl -r :SELECT: -b toggle,fullscreen
and the cursor turns into a plus, click the window with it.
The program called wmctrl is very powerful for managing windows.
I have no idea how will it get fullscreen-ed on gnome, i tested it on fluxbox.

It should. I just tested in AfterStep and XFCE and it works, so I see no reason why it wouldn't work with the Gnome's window manager.
