OK'd by Kyle in ticket #2051. Pushed to master and ipa-2-2.

One more issue, in the details page the Refresh and Reset buttons are 
actually doing a similar thing. They both cancel unsaved changes in the 
page, but the difference is the Reset button will show the values 
originally loaded when you open the page (which might be stale) whereas 
the Refresh button will reload the latest values from the server. So I 
think we can remove the Refresh button from the details page and modify 
the Reset button to do a refresh. We can leave the Undo buttons as is. 
This way we don't need a new icon for Refresh. What do you think?
