Re: Beginner's question: About dialog

[Iago Rubio <iago iagorubio com>]

You're mixing up the shorthand constructor "gtk_show_about_dialog" with
a dialog of your own.

Just use:

gtk_show_about_dialog ( NULL, // or the parent window
                       "version", version,
                       "website", website,
                        // all other properties
                        NULL); // end on NULL, for end of list

If you want to construct your own dialog, do it as with any other
dialog.
