Hey, nice little app!  

Specific cases are good. ;-)  I think you should make it look more 
like a dialog.  "Quit" should be "Close" and the should be on the 
bottom right using a gnome stock widget.  People are going to select 
this via the menu and think of it as a dialog, so this will be fine, 
it will integrate onto the desktop very well.  The only issue then 
is how to direct the user to GNOME help in a dialog since most
users may not be familiar with what traceroute does.
