Since Natty uses global menus, the indicator is gone altogether, so now
there's no way to tell if Gwibber is doing anything at all.

Title:
  Usability issue: Loading indication is not visible enough

Status in Gwibber:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When Gwibber is loading messages, it will display an empty white
  window and a spinning circle next to the menu, which is barely
  invisible, at least using ambiance and ambiance-maverick-beta.

  I like the approach of Pino, which shows a "Loading..." text centered
  on the window when loading, which makes it much more user friendly.

  Older description:

  On earlier versions of Gwibber there was a "Loading" indication. Now,
  all we get is a blank pane and the hope that's still doing something
  in background. It shoud be at least some kind of rolling circle to
  tell the user "Hey, I'm really doing something, I'm not stalled".
