I will ether patch out the donators menu and/or we will switch to
Squeeze in the Fedora Xfce spin. I'm pretty sure I will get trouble with
fedora-legal if I added the donators menu. Same for other distros I
think.

One acceptable solution I could think of is:
Help ->
      * "Contribute": links to http://xarchiver.xfce.org/contribute.html
        a page with instructions how to contribute
      * "Donators" or "Thanks to": links to e new page
        http://xarchiver.xfce.org/donators.html where the donators are
        listet. So Guiseppe still has the full control over the linked
        websites, because if an URL is hardcoded inside the app it
        cannot be removed later when a website publishes FUD, gets
        compromised or whatever. Also new contributors could be added
        without the need for a new release.

Regards,
Christoph
