Title:
  Show a spinny in the application launcher icon when performing
  indeterminate tasks

Status in Ayatana Design:
  New
Status in Unity:
  Incomplete
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  At the moment, the Unity Launcher supports displaying the progress of
  an application as part of its launcher tile. This is good.

  Some tasks in some applications, however, do not have an easily
  calculated percentage completion, and so use an 'indeterminate
  progress bar'. A good example of this is when checking for new updates
  in Update Manager. The progress bar bounces back and forth, rather
  than filling from start to finish.

  Problem: The Unity launcher has no support for displaying this type of
  status on a launcher tile.

  Solution: Add a spinny in the launcher icon where the number is
  displayed. Please see the attached mockup. Also, The app can decide if
  it wants the number, or the spinner, or both.

  This is a bug report based on the discussion on the ayatana mailing
  list. You can view the message about this discussion at

  to introduce spinny was accepted by Mark Shuttleworth as can be read
  from the discussion.
