As a follow-up to my last post on this subject...

Robin asked for screenshots of the About dialog of our application.

Using wx as embedded in Ubuntu 7.10:

Using our manually built installation of wx:

My assumption is that the second one is the generic form of the about 
dialog.  Personally, I prefer the layout of the first example above.

Thanks,
Chris
