Here's what I use in my doc-present package[1] for displaying slides:

(with-selected-frame
    (make-frame '((minibuffer . nil)
                  (left-fringe . 0)
                  (right-fringe . 0)
                  (menu-bar-lines . 0)
                  (internal-border-width . 0)
                  (vertical-scroll-bars . nil)
                  (unsplittable . t)
                  (cursor-type . nil)
                  (tool-bar-lines . 0)))
  (pop-to-buffer (get-buffer-create "*test*"))
  (setq mode-line-format nil))

The only thing remaining are the decorations from the window manager. I
don't think you can get rid of those from within Emacs?
