* About dialogs often contain links and email addresses. GtkAboutDialog
* displays these as clickable links. By default, it calls gtk_show_uri()

* #GtkAboutDialog::activate-link signal.

* To make constructing a GtkAboutDialog as convenient as possible, you can
* use the function gtk_show_about_dialog() which constructs and shows a dialog
* and keeps it around so that it can be shown again.
