Do you know what really grind my gears?
I distribute some beta apps from a ftp server. The apps are signed with a wildcard profile. While installing these apps, appears an icon with the progress. This install icon should be gone as soon the app is ready. But on iOS 7 these icons stays. It ends with the app icon and the buggy install icon. I can delete the app, but not the install icon.
The "X" button in missing too.
How to get rid of this icon?

Touch and hold the app until it jiggles. Then tap the delete button in the upper-left corner of the app to delete it. If you see a message that says, "Deleting this app will also delete its data," tap Delete.
Remove an app from the Home Screen: Touch and hold the app on the Home Screen, tap Remove App, then tap Remove from Home Screen to keep it in App Library, or tap Delete App to delete it from iPhone. Delete an app from App Library and Home Screen: Touch and hold the app in App Library, tap Delete App, then tap Delete.
I was having the same problem with OTA apps I was making. Before I solved the problem, the only way to remove the "Installing..." icon was to do a factory reset on the device (unless its jailbroken).
I changed the bundle identifier string in the .plist file for my OTA app to match the "id" of the app.xml. This made it so there was no longer two separate icons while it downloaded the app and nothing leftover on my dashboard after the install.

A workaround I did to get rid of that icon is:
