It works here. Does it happen for all other about dialogs?
Comment 2 Victor Osadci (Vic) 2006-03-26 09:47:29 UTC 
I haven't noticed this before, but it works in some apps and not in others. Same for applets.
Comment 3 Vincent Untz 2006-03-26 16:54:55 UTC 
Does it work with the keyboard?
Comment 4 Victor Osadci (Vic) 2006-03-26 17:28:45 UTC 
If you mean closing the window using the keyboard accelerator for gtk-close or focusing the close button and pressing Enter, then no, it doesn't work either.
Comment 5 Vincent Untz 2006-03-26 21:11:05 UTC 
This is really weird. I don't see why it would work in some apps and not in some others...
Anyway, if it's not only happening in gnome-panel, then there's a good chance it's a GTK+ bug.
Comment 6 Matthias Clasen 2006-03-26 22:46:17 UTC 
Works fine here with every about dialog I have tried.
If the reporter sees this specifically with the panel about 
dialog, chances are it is due to something specific in the panel.

Can we get some version numbers here, for the panel and GTK+ ?
Comment 7 Vincent Untz 2006-03-27 06:05:39 UTC 
Matthias, in comment #2, Victor wrote that "it works in some apps and not in others." So it's not only a panel issue.
Comment 8 Matthias Clasen 2006-03-27 06:41:20 UTC 
In any case, this bug is too currently too vague to do anything about it...
Comment 9 Victor Osadci (Vic) 2006-03-27 18:25:19 UTC 
I have just update GNOME and GTK to HEAD , and this is still happening. 
Some non-working applets are clock, window switcher, window list
Working applets: weather, notes, volume, system monitor
Non-working apps incluse gnome-panel, nautilus, gnome-terminal
Working apps: epiphany, totem, gconf-editor
