It also sets Plucker apart as unique.
If we were to use the hourglass, the "appropriate" place for it to
be would be in center of the viewport, not the upper-right corner.
Related to this, there was a question last week about changing the
"menu" icon into a Plucker icon, on the left side of the toolbar. I don't
like this idea either. The icon there denotes a drop-down menu (a few pixels
of cleanup and it could be nicely 3D or something), but putting the plucker
"pacifier" there would be counter-intuitive.
