Hello,
I'd like to have a button that looks like the close or cancel icon
that is often present in Cocoa applications, but I can't find the
icon. I'm surprised it doesn't show up as a choice in interface
builder.

Some places where this icon shows up includes:
- When you have multiple tabs in Safari, its the X in a circle by the
tab that you use to close the tab.
- In a standard Cocoa search field used in Finder, if you enter
something and want to cancel the search it shows up.

In my application a user can initiate a long running activity that I'd
like to allow them to stop. I could put a STOP icon on the toolbar, or
I was thinking of using the X in a circle icon next to a spinning
progress indicator. I'm not sure which approach is more typical in Mac
OS X.
