Having a menu just for the about dialog seems not the right to do to me.
But I'm not decided on this

I like it.

What happens if you click the "advance" button?

Why did you switch "close" and "format"?

Afaik the "go further" but in GNOME is always the most right one (on
LTR), so "format" should be the most right one imho. I think its ok to
have "format" the default button as it doesn't cause any data loss. The
confirmation alert of cause should default to cancel.
