The ``can_delete`` argument of ``generic_inlineformset_factory`` isn't working — at Version 2

Description (last modified by Russell Keith-Magee)

When the can_delete argument of generic_inlineformset_factory is set to False, a "Delete" checkbox is always displayed on the admin site.

Here a short example:

class SomeModel(models.Model):
    content_type = models.ForeignKey(ContentType)
    object_id = models.PositiveIntegerField()
    content_object = generic.GenericForeignKey('content_type', 'object_id')

class SomeInlineFormset(generic.GenericStackedInline):
    model = SomeModel
    formset = generic.generic_inlineformset_factory(SomeModel, can_delete=False)
    extra = 0

class SomeModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    inlines = [SomeInlineFormset]

It's probably not the reason for your original report, but the admin UI merge seems to have completely broken Generic inline formsets. I can't get them to work at all, with or without can_delete.
