Description alex diavatis 2014-01-30 22:06:58 UTC 
Totem 3.11.x

Application Menu has Help, Quit but not About.

This is on purpose. See my comments on this thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.desktop/49549/

ie. it doesn't bring us anything, and clutters the menus.

Since gmane isn't working currently, I believe the start of that mailing list discussion was

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2013-November/msg00024.html

On first glance, it looks like the Help, Settings and Videos apps are the only ones to not have About dialogs. Since Help is usually a component of other apps, it makes sense for it to try not to have a separate identity.
