(In reply to comment #0)

so i'd like to suggest that they be unified with simple plus and minus icons 
and be placed next to their appropriate entries.


Note that generally (in RTL culture) minus is indicated by left/less/backwards
and plus by right/more/forwards arrangement. In the mock-up the position is
reversed. Like JBF I tend to think minus/plus are more commonly associated with
delete/add. The recent icon series surveys being conducted over at User Prompt:

... indicate this also. UI icons are notoriously difficult. Just a small UX
comment.
