I haven't read the HIG in a while, but the original HIG
stated that "any menu item that brings up additional user interface -
and requires user input (even clicking an "OK" button to continue) -
is to have the ellipsis after it. That's why the About dialog
usually has it - it brings up a modal dialog in many applications.
