just to make sure I'm not confused.
you are not saying to make the app launch spinner the same as the unity8 spinner ? (e.g. the small ubuntu logo that spins directly after you click "finish" on the welcome wizard)

another question, about consistency, recently work went in to allow
applications to customize this. I hope this isn't what we're seeing.
Also there is nothing preventing an app from doing something similar or
way different...either way injecting some inconsistency. Should we
consider shutting down the option to override till we sort this?

Lastly, add ui-toolkit, b/c I think that's where the spinners are coming
from.

Title:
  [design] Spinner on app launch is inconsistent with standard activity
  indicator

Bug description:
  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.
