How do you delete icons on GEL home page?

I've installed Kit Kat and added the Google launcher. It works well, but I've added some apps to the home screen that I want to remove.

I might be missing something obvious here, but how do you remove apps from your home screen after you have put them there?

What happens when you press and hold the icon?

You have to have it in portrait orientation - then you can drag to the delete thing at the top. Doesn't work in landscape.

Thanks.
