Hmmm, I still don't like it. I think _show should at least return the
widget so you can do what you want with it. 

This is the code I always end up with in my about function

static GtkWidget *about = NULL;

if (about == NULL) {
   about = gnome_about_new (.....);
   g_signal_connect (G_OBJECT (about), "destroyed",
                     G_CALLBACK (gtk_widget_destroyed), &about);
   gtk_widget_show (about);
} else {
   gdk_window_show (about->window);
}

and I don't see how I can find gtk_about_show useful a useful function.
