Great David, it works perfectly for me.

Your throbber
(http://nmap.org/svn/zenmap/share/zenmap/pixmaps/throbber.gif) is
great and also very screen-space efficient!  But I'd still love to see
other people take a crack at it.  It would be fun to experiment with
different throbbers.  I'm trying to think of less abstract examples
which would relate to Nmap or port/security scanning in general.  Then
again, something less abstract might grow old quickly.  I notice that
Firefox uses uses a simple and elegant abstract one (very similar to
David's) rather than a fire-breathing animated Mozilla or something.
Still, if we had a variety, we could ship them all and people who want
to customize their Zenmap could choose the Matrix throbber or
whatever.

Cheers,
