can't do much about it. apart from puting a dot in the center of the rotation, 
and another arrow head, but people will still mix them up. not sure its 
extremly bad as its non destructive and they will learn it fastly enough ... 
problem is that rotation and relod use the same metaphorical visual element... 
also in the context reload made litle sence, at least less than rotation.
