Bug Description

It would be useful to have an "about" menu item on the right click menu of the terminator. This can have information on version + credits + some other info. Currently, the only way to get the version number seems to be be "terminator -v" from the command line.
I am using terminator 0.13 (ubuntu 9.10).

I also disagree with the bug description. I agree with Julien; it should only contain essential stuff.

Although I do sympathize with the thought. Having "About" is pretty standard. Perhaps as the last tab in Preferences?

Considering the typical Terminator user, I don't consider menu access to be high priority when cli access is present (terminator --version).

1. Ubuntu Karmic. python-vte 1:0.22.2-0ubuntu2.1. Terminator 0.95ppa2. Compiz and Gnome
2. Ubuntu Lucid. python-vte 1:0.23.5-0ubuntu1.1. Terminator 0.93-0ubuntu1. Metacity and Gnome
(Weird. The Terminator version for Lucid is lower than that for Karmic. Both are installed via Launchpad ppa. https://bugs.launchpad.net/terminator/+bug/652188).

Agreed with others that it'd just clutter the right click menu.

Really, anyone that has trouble running terminator -v shouldn't be using terminator, right? :-)
