That comes from the Grab application in /NextDeveloper/Demos, when you've asked  
Grab to take a picture of something.  I forget the details, but it's something  
like you've told Grab you want a picture of some window, and the icon turns to  
a camera until you select the window (or whatever it is) that you want Grab to  
take a picture of.  It's Grab's way of telling you that it's waiting for some  
indication of what it should grab.
