This branding argument doesn't make a lot of sense for free
applications that are a core part of the desktop environment. Both
Nautilus and Galeon should consider having a visually simple, generic
brand-free spinner by default.
An example of a commercial app that does this is OmniWeb, for Mac OS
X. Only some of the toolbar setups have a spinner - it's the
super-plain-looking spinny-arrow thing, which is a standard control on
OS X:
