Actually, it was renamed to: "KAnimatedButton" which is in:

	kdelibs/kdeui/widgets/kanimatedbutton.cpp

The other question is the PNG which this will use.  According to the 
Icon Naming spec, there are to be two PGNs:

	animations/process-idle.png
	animations/process-working.png

with the "process-idle" being new, and "process-working" to be the 
multiple image like the current: "kde".  With old icon themes, we have 
little choice but to rename: "kde" to "process-working" and place the 
first frame in the new icon: "process-idle".  However, the use of cross 
platform icon names and themes raised an important question.  Do we want 
new artwork for these new icons (e.g. Oxygen) to be KDE branded since it 
will be used all applications, not just KDE ones.

I would suggest that the new KDE icon themes should include a generic 
animation for "process-working" & "process-idle" and KDE branded icons 
named: "process-working-kde" & "process-idle-kde".
