I agree with Luca. The stock icon is called "delete", so it should work
here. That trash icon is gonna be used as delete in other places that
don't allow undelete from trash, or where the "trash can" methaphor
doesn't work. If this icon is wrong then it should be fixed at the
source, fixing it everywhere.

OTOH, i don't think the stop sign that luca show in the bug is a very
good icon for delete either. Icons are hard, lets go shopping.
