I was looking at version 2.3 and was pleased to notice lots of little details that have been polished or tweaked.
For no particular reason I noticed some of the plugins have an About dialog and since the GIMP requires gtk 2.6 I started about getting them to use the GTK_STOCK_ABOUT button and the standard gtk about dialog. I spent quite a while checking which applications use an about dialog and the list was extremely short: Fractal Explorer Gimpressionist ImageMap (Gfig used to but doesn't at least not in version 2.3) Rather than getting these applications to use the new GTK About dialog I also considered removing the about dialog entirely (the information is still availalbe from the Plugin database if anyone wants it). However I didn't think this was a change developers would be eager to make and wasn't going to bother suggesting it until I read this existing comment by Sven which suggested completely removing the about dialog from the Fractal Explorer. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=140202#c13 So would it be acceptable to remove the about button and dialog from both Fractal Explorer and Gimpressionist? If it is I'll file a request and try and provide a patch at some stage. Either way ImageMap should probably use the gtk stock about dialog, so I'll give that a try for starters.
