Should the About dialog have the warning/error/information icon?


This was my next thought, and then I groaned at the amount of work
involved.

Firstly, I am going to have to run awk or something over the code to
include a CONSTANT label (#defined) in all those calls to simple_dialog
all over the code, and then I need to find some icons :-(
Actually, an About box might not need an icon in the dialog box itself; perhaps we should have a separate routine for About boxes, rather than using simple_dialog()?
KDE has an "about" method for KMessageBox, for display "About" dialogs, and GNOME has a GnomeAbout widget; other desktop environments might also treat About boxes specially.
