You can do this in GNOME.  The following instructions
will give you a desktop exactly like a Windows XP
desktop.

Someone has even made a script which will convert all
of the graphics in the Ubuntu default GNOME desktop
into Windows XP graphics, creating a "Windows XP
Desktop" which happens to have a top and bottom
taskbar on it.  The script is one-way: if you run it
and want to restore to prior settings, you will have
to change it all back by hand.
