Since I use Pascal with Delphi I've always seen "+" and "-" in the
TDBNavigator. This means that the users I'm working for are used to see
those two images.
On the other hand when I use either a TButton or a TBitButton oe a
TSpeedButton I'm used to insert a blank page for insert and a red cross
for delete. They are still the same in Delphi XE.
This means that I do rather prefer Alejandro's position instead of the
current pics in the TDBNavigator
