Hi,

you must set a URL hook:

    Gtk.AboutDialog.set_url_hook (url_hook);
    Gtk.show_about_dialog (...);


  private void url_hook (Gtk.AboutDialog about, string link) {
      try {
          Gtk.show_uri (null, link, Gdk.CURRENT_TIME);
      } catch (Error e) {
          stderr.printf ("Error: %s", e.message);
      }
  }
