Actually, an About box might not need an icon in the dialog box itself; 
perhaps we should have a separate routine for About boxes, rather than 
using simple_dialog()?

KDE has an "about" method for KMessageBox, for display "About" dialogs, 
and GNOME has a GnomeAbout widget; other desktop environments might 
also treat About boxes specially.
