I noticed however the button icons are quite poor in doing what they should - being easier to distinguish than text labels. They all include the rectangle signifying "layer". But the fact that this element appears on evey single one of them makes it nothing but visual noise.
I suggest simplifying those icons to the core of what they are trying to say. Use distinguishable silhouettes, color. An image is worth more than my poor writing:
That does look quite a bit clearer.
Having said all that, I don't think the metaphor for delete you see on the mockup is particularly strong.
Could you explain what might be better?

I'd just suggest another icon for delete : a trash can I don't really like having an icon looking like a 'close tab' for firefox or 'forbidden area'.

Ok, I'll try to kill that icon during the weekend and draw a nicer one, there have been bugs about it in tango forever. On a related topic a new set of tango-icons for inkscape is in the works. - Andreas
