Just two questions:

- how does this relate to KAnimatedButton, which basically does the same for a toolbutton's icon, except that one needs to have a png-sequence to get the right animation
- could I use this to overlay a spinner on top of an existing icon in a button, without knowing where exactly the icon will be drawn

?

Aurelien and I extracted the code from Gwenview and molded it into three nice classes that allow to create spinners very easily in any situation. At the moment the classes are used in Gwenview and in Nepomuk.
