Proposals for better icons would be appreciated too.

Before there were two delete buttons in the botom row an we've got several
tickets in JOSM trac because 
it wasn't clear enough in what sense they were different. 
They are no so far apart  because they are placed in their "context". The
button on the left is close
to the list of members. It deletes *all selected members*.
The button on the right is close to the list of *selected primitives*. It
deletes all members referring
to one of the selected primitives. 
If I have to *explain* why they are placed where they are placed now the
idea is obviously not intuitive enough, though.
Any alternative proposals?

I only realised that there was two delete buttons last night. I think   
that there needs to be a better tooltop message, and icon to denote all or
just that instance. Why do the two buttons need to be so far apart?
