Description Christian Persch 2006-12-14 18:59:16 UTC 
gtk_show_about_dialog with NULL parent always shows it on the default screen. Sometimes you want to show an about dialogue on another screen but don't have a parent there (for example, from a status icon on the other screen). So I propose gtk_show_about_dialog_on_screen.

Can you describe a use case for this ?
I just can't imagine.
Comment 3 Christian Persch 2008-05-30 18:44:38 UTC 
The original motivation for that patch was bug 336504 comment 7.
A somewhat contrived use case is showing an about dialogue from click/context menu on a status icon on a different screen than the programme's main window is on.
