Press the middle one with the mouse over the root window (your backround) and in the menu "window ops" that is appearing now choose the option "delete". You get a nice icon, I don't know the word ("Totenkopf" in German).
LEO translates it as death's-head, wich I find a very unusual. Skull is the common translation.
Just for the sake of amusement, the "Totenkopf" is, according to the standard X cursor set, called "pirate" (pg 802-803 "X Window SystemUser's Guide", by Quercia and O'Reilly).
Well the pirate flag is also called skull and bones wich might be the link to their usage. But indeed it is funny.

And people say the Germanic tongues are odd :\
Who says that??
