Description

Just generated an empty griffon app (see output below), and do run-app.

Nothing happens when I press Menu bar -> About, or Preferences.

Clicking Quit will exit the app as expected.

In griffon-0.9.2, the About button works (it shows a dialog with app name and version).

Hooking into the event OSXAbout works however.

It would be great to retain the old behavior the way it was in 0.9.2.

The guide mentions you must use an application event handler in order to react to these menus on OSX http://griffon.codehaus.org/guide/0.9.5/guide/5.%20Application%20Overview.html#5.9.2%20MacOSX (as you have noted).

Previous to 0.9.5 there was no specific support for these menus. At the moment there's no option for displaying the default About menu provided by OSX, given that it's much better if application developers fill that gap with a custom dialog.
