Desktop Accessories were on Mac since 1984.
Konfabulator was a much more modern precursor to Dashboard, and existed in the early 00s. It put them directly on your desktop.
Also you could make Dashboard widgets stick around by changing a plist setting

And Konfabulator was cool but it wasn't part of the OS. The plist setting is interesting though -- definitely never knew about that. But again, not part of how they were designed to operate for the average end user.
