That's definitely the look of the Brushed Steel theme for enlightenment -- the tilebars on the side, the look of the bars, and so on. I assume this is only possible in E - which would lead me to believe that, to make it look cooler, they might have taken a screenshot from WindowMaker and place it as the background. Granted, the applets change appearance, but so does the scheme of arrangement of the Icons on the left side(paperclip) area.
First of all, Bill Gates does not have nearly enough wealth to pay off the national debt. The last estimate I read - several years ago - was one of around 6 trillion dollars. Unless you want to fudge by an order of magnitude or so, Gates' wealth doesn't even come close to paying that off.
And as for contributions, Microsoft has contributed dramatically more to the republicans than the democrats. OpenSecrets can tell you that much. Bill himself has done little to no contributing.

I know that was a joke. Jokes can be wrong, too.
