This makes it easier to use alternative fonts or font sizes, and it makes it easier for translators since they do not have to guess where they will have to put their newlines in their translations.

Hi Christian. Really it's a problem, but its about licence in GtkAboutDialog, so it's definitely related to 165012 filled before :) The actual problem you should know is that GtkAboutDialog license tab doesn't use wrapping in text area. I am not sure should we mark it as duplicate simply.
The gtk bug is now fixed but it required api addition. I'm not really sure about this... if we change it now we will break the about dialog with previous versions of gtk. Using GTK_VERSION_CHECK would just make thing worse for transtalators (they'd have two copies of the licence to translate, one with \n and one without). So I'm not really sure, maybe do this when we drop support for 2.6?
This should be fixed in HEAD, thanks.
