Description Sebastien Bacher 2008-01-15 08:32:27 UTC 
There is some programs using gnome-about --version to get the GNOME version installed, having this option not available create issues. One example is on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-desktop/+bug/175235
Comment 1 Vincent Untz 2008-01-20 20:09:02 UTC 
Note that --gnome-version is the correct way to get the GNOME version.
We're currently blocked for --version because the GOption python bindings are not covering everything we need.
Comment 2 Vincent Untz 2008-02-11 18:27:14 UTC 
I've manually added a --version option back.
