It's basically just a key-binding for what you've come across. Boy is it USEFUL! Should you decide the white X of death was a mistake and you don't want to let it loose on one of your apps running, try right-clicking. Makes the X become your cursor again. I can't tell you how many times I've unjustly killed my panel. But it's even more troubling login to your desktop, it's icons, aaand no panel(s). Rare but it's happened to me. Alt-F2 "xfce4-panel" really came in handy then. The reason I’m okay with the occasional hung up process in Xfce, and not in GNOME:
