Re: [gnome-about] Title box is a hyperlink

 Hi,

 Maybe I am dumb, but I think this whole thing is useless!
 In an app, I am writing, I have a Sites SubMenu with all sites I want 
to give access to! I also use GnomeHRef(to my bugtrack) and add it to 
StatusBar.

 So everything is just a click away!

 Hell, you can even have A SMALL HOME ICON on the toolbar that opens a 
link to your Home Site!

 Why the hell would anyone want to break compatibility for such a 
futile thing is beyond me!

 Or maybe I really am stupid!
