Detailed Description

The GtkAboutDialog offers a simple way to display information about a program like its logo, name, copyright, website and license. It is also possible to give credits to the authors, documenters, translators and artists who have worked on the program. An about dialog is typically opened when the user selects the About option from the Help menu. All parts of the dialog are optional. About dialog often contain links and email addresses. GtkAboutDialog supports this by offering global hooks, which are called when the user clicks on a link or email address, see gtkAboutDialogSetEmailHook and gtkAboutDialogSetUrlHook. Email addresses in the authors, documenters and artists properties are recognized by looking for

, URLs are 
recognized by looking for http://url, with 
url extending to the next space, tab or line break.
  
To make constructing a GtkAboutDialog as convenient as possible, you can
use the function gtkShowAboutDialog which constructs and shows a dialog 
and keeps it around so that it can be shown again.
  
Note that GTK+ sets a default title of _("About %s") 
on the dialog window (where %s is replaced by the name of the 
application, but in order to ensure proper translation of the title, 
applications should set the title property explicitly when constructing 
a GtkAboutDialog, as shown in the following example:
  gtkShowAboutDialog(NULL, "name" = "ExampleCode", "logo" = example_logo,
                   "title" = "About ExampleCode")  
Note that prior to GTK+ 2.12, the "program-name" property
was called "name". This was changed to avoid the conflict with the
"name" property.

Convenient Construction

gtkAboutDialog is the equivalent of gtkAboutDialogNew.
