Reduce some code duplications (71 insertions(+), 217 deletions(-)) Apart from reducing code duplication, this change also adds the logo in all Help -> dialogs, and none of these dialogs are transient to the buddylist anymore. Also, fixes a copy/paste error where no other help window would show if the 'About' dialog was showing.
