Comment 2 for bug 629257

I would rather want it to stay. In this way, the user knows that the
computer is doing something.
It's a good principle to let the user know when the system is doing
something. Especially in this case, the user has actively sought to
get some information (by holding the mouse still over the icon), so we
shouldn't let them down by giving nothing.

Im assuming that when theres no data present, the system is working on
getting some data (ie some estimation algorithm is running in the
background and will soon deliver information)
