you have to switch of borders, scrollbar and maybe switch on transparent background.
The thing to let it stay under every other window depends on your WindowManager, so tell us which one you use.

start your terminal with
Code:
aterm -name transAterm

in your fvwm configuration has to be something like that (sorry, long time since using fvwm)
Code:
Style transAtermStayOnBottom, NeverFocus, NoBorder

in your .Xdefaults you write like
Code:

transAterm*transparent:true
transAterm*scrollbar:false

if you want every aterm transparent, just replace transAterm with aterm and don't use the -name command line switch

this site may help you http://www.zensites.net/fvwm/guide/
