Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-netstatus-applet

When opening the applet's about page by right clicking the icon and choosing about, the box doesn't close when pressing the "close" button. Credits page unaffected by this.

Expected behaviour would be for the about box to close, nothing happens. The "x" for closing the window works as intended.

Version of the applet, as reported by the about page itself: gnome-netstatus-applet 2.12.2
Ubuntu version tested on: Ubuntu 64bit 8.10 Intrepid

sami@sami-desktop:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10
sami@sami-desktop:~$ apt-cache policy gnome-netstatus-applet

This is probably due to Gnome Bug 170858 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=170858). gnome-netstatus use GnomeAbout which is deprecated it should use GtkAboutDialog.

I've sent a patch there about 3 years ago, but gnome-netstatus is unmaintainer at the moment..
