  pixbuf or undef = $about->get_logo

  string or undef = $about->get_logo_icon_name

  $about->set_logo_icon_name ($icon_name)

•   $parent (Gtk2::Window or undef)

•   $first_property_name (string)

•   ... (list) the rest of a list of name=>property value pairs.

A convenience function for showing an application's about box. The constructed dialog is "transient for" $parent and associated with that widget so it's reused for future invocations. The dialog is non-modal and hidden by any response.

(This is implemented as a rewrite of "gtk_show_about_dialog" since it's not easy to construct a varargs call to that actual function. The intention is to behave the same though.)

URL AND EMAIL HOOKS
When setting the website and email hooks for the Gtk2::AboutDialog widget, you should remember that the order is important: you should set the hook functions before setting the website and email URL properties, like this:

  $about_dialog->set_url_hook(\&launch_web_browser);
  $about_dialog->set_website($app_website);

otherwise the AboutDialog will not display the website and the email addresses as clickable.
