Using the standard Gtk about dialog should take care of most of the functional requirements of any new About dialog. Adding the artwork back in without making things too big might require a few adjustments but following the standard API will probably save hassle in the long run.
I wouldn't mind doing that, except do you have any suggestions for how we would embed an SPSVGViewWidget in the standard about dialog?
GtkAboutDialog's API doesn't seem to permit embedding anything except a non-rescalable bitmap image in the from of a pixbuf:

You know, while I like the idea of using SVG in bowth Help documents and About dialog, I do hate when I have to wait till it's rendered and shown.
On my 1,6 Centrino + 512 Mbyte RAM laptop the current About dialog renders ~6 secs. This is insane. I would vote for a GIMP-like About box with a smaller SVG inside, if anyone cares to listen :)
