[Design] Alpha 2 background synching

[Philippe Bossut]

You should get Reid involve here. He is the toolbar specialist now.

Also, FWIW, I'd prefer an unobtrusive animated spin icon in the status 
bar or toolbar (along with a small cancel icon) rather than modifying 
the main toolbar buttons.

My $0.02.

Cheers,
- Philippe
