The menu "Thanks to" will be visibile only and not the whole list of
contributors. If the user clicks on it the whole list will be shown.
Also the URL are hardcoded in GMail Manager as they will be in
Xarchiver; did you realize that? How come you don't complain about
this now?

Did you click on that menu? To me it cover the whole screen height.

The same will happen in the submenu items of the menu item "Thanks to".

The same with what will happen in Xarchiver 0.5. The user is not taken
there without explicit permission because he/she has to click and
without knowing the url because the url will be visible next to the
name.
