Bug Description

By convention, most application's have an "About" item in their "Help" menu. This helps people find out which version of the software they are using.

Chromium has this dialog - accessible from the "wrench" - but it is not available in the "Help" menu.

Thank you for reporting this to Ubuntu. Chromium does not have a "help" menu, but uses its website for this function. Therefore, there is nothing for us to fix. Please report any other issues you may find.

Thank you for your fast response to this bug.

I believe that Chromium in Ubuntu under the Unity environment does have a Help menu (but maybe I am using the wrong terminology). Please see the attached screenshot.
