Hmm, maybe About dialogs for commercial products are a bit different from
what
GnomeAbout currently provides ? I have never seen this form of individual
credits
in about boxes of commercial products, but the secondary "Credits" dialog is
mandatory
with the current GnomeAbout.

The current code already produces "About <appname>", where appname is taken
from the
appname provided in the _show() call, falling back to
g_get_application_name().
