That goes into the area of premeditated killing, like think before you commit 
yourself. Seriously though, I just tried this on Kubuntu. You have the skull 
placed on the window you were going to kill, but change your mind. Do a 
CTRL+ALT, and this time hold down the ESC key, and the skull will flash, and 
when you let go the keys the skull is gone.

That's the way I observe it anyway.
