The bomb icon is the same as right clicking on a minimised program and selecting "kill" - it kills a frozen program.

There are many reasons why this should happen - Installing new software, glitches and so on.

It can also be used to delete programs so you click on the bomb and then click on the bomb and the bomb program is gone from the desktop

:)

Hope that helps

There are no reasons why this "should" happen.

There are many reasons why this "may" or "can" or "would" happen.

Sorry, I could not resist.

Maybe Barry needs a message on that icon when the mouse hovers over it.
