How do I get rid of that? It seems as if an item from my dashboard got moved to my desktop...

It is in my way a lot. *ugh*

Press f12.
Now with still the mouse button pressed down move the widget

If you enable Dashboard developer mode, you can drag and drop widgets to the desktop. Just click and hold on a widget, and push F12. Drop. Reverse to get them off.
Dashboard developer mode can be enabled with TinkerTools or Onyx (or Terminal: "defaults write com.apple.dashboard devmode YES").
Its quite fun to play with.

Occasionally, it's convenient to have a calculator, a dictionary, or whatever, on the desktop instead of the dashboard. If you don't like it or doesn't find it useful, don't mess with it and be happy with what you have.
