Take out the confirmation indicators

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I was talking to Moe this evening, who organised the Amsterdam conference. He's 
a happy user of the app, but he asked me what the circle is for. Two issues 
here:

1) The meaning of the circle is not explained anywhere in the UI. I'm guessing 
a lot of people have the same question.

2) I honestly couldn't give him a reasonable explanation. There's just no way 
to explain what the hell a block really means, in terms of end-user actionable 
information. The lack of reported double spends means it's hard to communicate 
how it makes you more secure or even why.

IMHO the circles should just be removed. In the event that a user really cares 
about the difference between 2 blocks and 3, they can check the block view in 
the network monitor.

Icons also serve the purpose of aerating the UI. So I wouldn't take it out 
completely. If you're arguing just about "pie chart" like progress, then why is 
this an issue at all. For those who know will read it, and those who not will 
simply not notice and ignore.

What do others think?

UI doesn't work like that. People who don't understand WILL notice it, and 
waste time wondering what it is or whether it's important and worrying about if 
they're going to accidentally use the app wrong. After all, the reason I filed 
this bug is someone asked me what they're for.

The indicators could be replaced with something else, but I don't think there 
should be something there just to fill pixels.
