There's a utility called devilspie that runs as a userland daemon and
allows you quite a bit of control over the "look and feel" of
individual windows including undecorating them. I believe devilspie is
in Universe. 

Here's a howto on doing exactly what you want it seems, albeit using
gnome-terminal. I wouldn't imagine any terminal emulator that could be
made transparent under Fluxbox couldn't be used likewise.
