Well the Gtk main loop can not break out, it means you can not play animation of the GtkSpinner as slow as you want. I'm sorry I had not used the GtkSpinner before, then I just did a test on the widget, so I see we only make it playing or stop animation by setting it's "active" property TRUE or FALSE.
