Yes, the GTK+ 2.0. I really like it otherwise, but I just hadn't
noticed the dialog menu until now. It's just odd for a dialog to have
a menu bar IMO. A *much* better solution would be to have a pop-up
menu under RMB when clicked in the listbox. (I wouldn't mind if the
menu bar stayed, give those Mac users a chance :))
