Re: App menu Help/About consistency

[Yosef Or Boczko <yoseforb gmail com>]

I disagree.

We need a place with the names of the developers and the
name of the app.

If the name of totem is 'Videos' in the UI, and someone want
to visit in the web of totem, to repo bug or to contribute, he
need the about dialog to know the right name is 'totem', so
he know from where to start.

Also, the about dialog is the place to five credit to the developers
and to the translators (ans also to the designers).
