And when a scope already has content that is now being refreshed, I
think the "old" content should still be shown, maybe darkened a bit,
while the new content is coming in.

Bug description:
  Several scopes include online content by default.  However, none of
  them display anything to indicate that they are loading data from the
  internet, so it can be hard to tell it's doing anything because it
  looks like it's just a blank page indefinitely until content shows up.

  The scopes with this issue are (at least) the click store scope, the
  music scope, and the video scope.  It's especially noticeable in the
  click store, because after tapping "Ubuntu Store", the page is simply
  blank for long enough that users might hit the back button before
  anything loads.  That's actually how this issue was brought to my
  attention; I gave the phone to a muggle and asked them to install an
  app, and they thought I was trying to trick them by telling them to
  use an app store with no apps, so they hit 'back' before anything
  loaded.

  Some sort of 'loading' animation would be very helpful for avoiding
  this sort of misunderstanding, and also for letting the user know when
  their data connection is being used.  (might also be nice to light up
  the 'transfers' indicator while the loading is in progress, in
  addition to some sort of visual cue in the blank part of the content
  area)
