Have to say I hate when people use icons which are impossible to 
understand.
I had the same feeling when I saw the control movie also.

It took me several days before I finally found out that it must mean 
"show Hotspots"
Problem is very few has hotspots and I believe many will click and 
click on this one with no reaction.
Personally I find this controller completely unnecessary especially as 
we do not have the movie controller hidden.
As a general my opinion is that a QTVR should be moved by dragging. 
That's interactive. Clicking on a link to move it is kind of stupid. 
The new PleinPot has a similar controller but it also includes an auto 
rotation option and the panning control is smoother.
