Try SDL (http://www.libsdl.org)
SDL_Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);
SDL_Surface *p_surf = SDL_SetVideoMode(640, 480, 32, SDL_OPENGL | SDL_FULLSCREEN);
plus error checking of course… and you have fullscreen window with opengl ready to go…

Gnome or KDE or … doesn’t matter for what you want.
There is X option to display window without any decoration at all, so this may be what you tell windowless rendering as you don’t speak about fullscreen.
However, a window is needed in all cases, even if you don’t want title bar, or anything around your rendering.
Take a look at XCreateWindow and its options (available on the net, and on almost all Linux distribs).
hope this helps
