Description Eugene O'Connor 2002-11-01 13:24:33 UTC 
"About GNOME" menu item on the panel popup menu. 

The panel popup menu is not an appropriate location for the About GNOME
menu item.

Suggested alternatives: 

*  On the GNOME Menu
*  In the Yelp Help menu

have a help menu i can apply the patch, but so far we have no 
aggreement :(

The new menu layout in HEAD has the "About GNOME" item in the menu bar. I
removed it from the popup menu.
