<p>For some historical perspective, when Geany was first written it used GTK+ 2.4, and the GtkAboutDialog was added in GTK+ 2.6. I guess since it's already written and looks/works fine, nobody bothered to port it to use <code>GtkAboutDialog</code>.</p>
<p>Not that it's a bad idea, but I suspect it would require more custom code than just using the helper function as above since Geany has some special <a href="c330f54">"features"</a> in the about dialog.</p>
