How can I have one about dialog attached to multiple windows?
My use case (which I would assume would be very common) is an
application that has many toplevel windows, all the same, each with a
different file open in them. Each window has a Help->About menu, but
when I click it, I only want one about box to show up.

It might be because I'm very tired, but I don't see need to have 2
functions...
