Asa, who's responsible for changing the UA string?  "Help" is certainly not the
right place for this bug to live....

The 1.4 RC 2 "Help, About" text still says "1.4".

Will there be an RC 3?  If so this should be addressed.  If not, just leave the
text as is and it'll be perfect when 1.4 is released.

1.4 is out, so I change the status to wontfix.

The problem remains, should release candidates get a special ID?
The BuildIDs of Release and preceding Trunk versions only differ in the date,
so why should a release candidate get something special?
Imho there are other text issues which are more important.
If a release candidate gets something special, trunk builds also must get
something special.
