The problem is that the name of the icon in the icon-naming-spec is 
dialog-close and is intended for the action "The icon used for the Close 
button that might appear in dialog windows.". The use of the 
dialog-close icon in epiphany and gedit is therefore a bit improper. A 
specific icon for closing tabs would be much better in that case.
