Summary: First-time users, About GLAME dialog hides other dialogs

Initial Comment:
Minor usability issue:

  $ rm -rf ~/.glame*
  $ glame

For first-time users of GLAME, the big and fat "About
GLAME" dialog is in front of the first-time
configuration dialog and cannot be closed or minimised.
Users cannot change focus. Users need to move it away
in order to see and access the configuration dialog.
Where a feature like "focus follows mouse" is used,
this can result in the first-time "Information" dialog
disappearing behind the "About GLAME" dialog, too,
where users must search for it, before they would be
able to continue.

In general, the patch is fine.  But please, zero the splash
variable
after the gtk_object_destroy and check for it being already zero
at the point of the second gtk_object_destroy further down.
 Else
we will be caught by gtk checking.

Thanks,
Richard.
