Summary: text corrupted in about dialog

Initial Comment:
http://dooglus.rincevent.net/random/about-synfig.png shows how the 'about' 
window looks to me.

I have GNOME's fonts set to use a dpi of 126, which it probably what's causing 
this.

Also, when using a dark desktop theme with white font colours, the version
and other information doesn't show up because the logo is white too.

The current dialog is sexy, but it has many problems. We could convert it
to a VERY unsexy Gtk::AboutDialog.

The gimp about dialog seems to 1) resize the font to fit into the space
available 2) use the appropriate font colour 3) allow the user to close it
with a click in any part.

The inkscape about dialog looks like a standard gtk about dialog, modified
a bit. Same with scribus.

The openoffice one separates the text from the logo.

The Xara one is just a bit of text.

The splash screen should also be given the
GDK_WINDOW_TYPE_HINT_SPLASHSCREEN window type hint and the text in the
about box should be selectable.

It's hard to see how to close the 'about' window, too.  It turns out
there's a small barely visible 'x' in the top right corner, but something
more visible would be useful.

Also, clicking the 'about' icon multiple times seems to create multiple
copies of the about window, so I have to close it multiple times, too. 
Only allowing a single instance of the about window would be better.
