the 'skull & crossbones' is a kill for the next window/object you click
on - be careful with that.
It is invoked by Esc key combination
handy when needed - bad to click on desktop when not needed.

Hum.... yes I can see where it would be bad to click on the desktop
with it. In my case when it happened, I had not been doning any
ESC-key stuff when it happened. The Screen Saver had been
running and I moved the mouse (clicked it maybe?) to end the
screen saver, and then the jolly roger appeared.....
