Typically you'd use about->run () instead -- this makes the dialog
modal, shows it and returns when the user triggers a response (such as
clicking the close button).  Then when you destroy the AboutDialog
instance it'll disappear from the screen as well, or if you don't want
to get rid of it you can just put a hide() call immediately after the
run()
