All I do in my program is this (with appropriate declarations of progname,
progversion, prismIcon, authors, and documenters):

   new Gnome.About(progname, progversion, "(C) 2005 Harry Chesley",
      "Optics game", authors, documenters, null, prismIcon).Run();

So I suspect the offending behavior is inside the Gnome.About class. Short
of fixing it there (which I'd rather not get into as a "first" Mono project
:-), is there any way to work around it?

Thanks.
