[Chameleon] spinner in common language file

[Julien-Samuel Lacroix]

Hi Bart,
I would personally prefer a SharedResource (with a default value if not 
set) since this functionality is widget specific. Or maybe a skin 
element. What do you prefer? Why?

It's possible to have a Chameleon page without a map. In this case, the 
wait image is not needed. Again, it would be great to hear what others 
think about this.
