Right. It's branding, which isn't meant to be themeable. :)

It's accessible in as much as it needs to be. You can use the keyboard
to open it, and any keypress closes it.

They are all included in the same list. Not that they are all there, but
they would be in the same list of names still.

What does this look like with your patch applied? I'm guessing the
dialog is going to be too tall to be of good use with the current single
list of names.

Perhaps all the names should be split up into the
authors/translators/documentors so that the dialog is put to proper use.

Also, you probably want to get rid of e-shell-about-box.[ch] entirely,
and just move the code to create the about box into where
e_shell_about_box_new () is called currently.
