I dont maintain the ximian lists but I know they are searchable by
google, just pointing it out, not trying to argue with you ;-)

There is a bug in gtk+ with the about dialog, its fixed in more
recent versions - the bug is that the about dialog uses the name
"name" for the "program-name" property (this name was changed
before the next major release of gtk+), the "name" property already
exists for the GtkWidget class and so there is a conflict
(the Program Name field _does_ show up for me with 3.2.0 in
the bottom of the Common tab, as a GtkWidgetClass property,
but I have doubts about the safeness of using it because of the
conflict I pointed out).

more recent versions of glade & gtk+ will have this fixed, sorry
for the inconvenience.

Cheers,
           -Tristan
