You are not crazy and do not need to scrub out the coffee mug. This 
was a "feature" which was triggered randomly with no way to stop it
happening in some versions of gnome-core (somewhere in the 1.4.x 
series). It was removed recently after too many "did someone crack
my box?", "wtf was _that_!?" and "my wanda wandered" occasions. So
when you upgrade to newer gnome-cores, it won't happen. 

Well, not randomly, at least. Knowing George, I am sure there will 
be a way to make it happen if you find the magic keystrokes. But it
won't Just Happen For No Apparent Reason.
