<p>
The <code class="classname">AboutDialog</code> offers a simple way to display information
about a program, like its logo, name, copyright, website and license.
</p>
<p>
Most dialogs in this chapter are modal, that is, they freeze the rest of
the application while they are shown. It's also possible to create a non-modal
dialog, which does not freeze other windows in the application.
The following example shows a non-modal <code class="classname">AboutDialog</code>. This is
perhaps not the kind of dialog you would normally make non-modal, but non-modal
dialogs can be useful in other cases. E.g. <span class="application">gedit</span>'s
search-and-replace dialog is non-modal.
