Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 14.10 r257

0. Close System Settings if if is already running.
1. Choose System Settings and watch it launch.
2. Choose "Updates" and watch the check for updates.

What you see:
1. A spinner consisting of three orange dots, without tails, that move, with pauses, in a triangle.
2. A spinner consisting of three orange dots, with tails, that move, without pauses, in a circle.

What you should see: either
1. launching an app shouldn't ever show a spinner, or
2. the two spinners should look like they were designed by the same person.

It's okay for spinners to look different; it's not as if you're likely
to be confused about what a spinner is communicating. But two spinners
that are part of the operating system probably should be more similar
than these two.
