RE: [java-gnome-hackers] Debugging Native code

I agree that it is a bad thing for About to not inherit from Dialog.=20
Again, my concern is that an unecessary (from About's point of view, not
unecessary for Dialog).  I'll look into this further to see if there's
another solution.

I never ment the change to be perminant.  I did it while trying to get
things to work, and wrote to you about it so you'd know what I was
thinking.  I'll change the inheritance back if you haven't already.
