Hmmm, I believe the ellipses indicate an interactive action, and not
whether or not the user will have to input anything.  Without the
ellipses, a menu item should invoke its action immediately.  The
ellipses imply further interaction, which typically means a dialog box.

And technically speaking, the About box *does* require further input,
even if it is just clicking on the OK button to dismiss it.
