  Looking through the list of icons i have here (damn, there's a lot...) i 
find an icon named actions/clear_left. This icon is the same as the icon used 
to clear the location bar (cleverly called actions/locationbar_erase), only 
mirrored/turned 180 degrees (depending on icon set). Why not try making it a 
general trend to use this for clearing text fields? i'm going to refer to the 
gestalt law of closeness here (the button would be closer to the text field, 
and thus it would also mean it is associated closer to it), and in addition 
to that the button will now be closer to where it exists in the filter bars 
found around MacOS X, where the clear button is a small round hotspot inside 
the text field itself (yes, i know, don't refer to existing stuff in other 
systems, i am just drawing a parallel here ;) ).
