This seems sort of like a fatal flaw to me. If the throbber is your
progress indicator, you need it to always be visible.
Marco had asked me to comment on the previous message, but i think this one
is even better..
I've been largely convinced that throbbers could be easily discarded in
browser type interfaces. I hope the new gtk combo allows the addition of
entry-bar icon similar to that in IE and in mozilla. While a page is
loading, progress can be shown using a spinning arrow for the location icon
in the entry (see
http://www.phys.lsu.edu/students/merchan/GNOME/Recommendations/Epiphany/ for
some screenshots). There really is no need for a throbber (other than for
marketing).
Other than the throbber example can we really think of any other examples
where you'd want an explicit packend toolbar item. I can't. THe flexible
space idea is interesting, although from a toolbar editting stanpoint is
odd, because its not really an object that you add or remove to the toolbar.
Similarly i can really think of very few examples where it has usefulness.
