Settings
This menu contains:
Preferences... Bring up the GNOME MinesPreferences dialog,
as shown in
This allows you to choose the size of the
playing grid and the number of mines. You
can either use one of the pre-defined
sizes on the left or create your own by
selecting
custom and
selecting the value you want on the
right.
Also there is an option to use an extra
"I'm not sure" flag with a question mark
for squares you aren't sure about. These
are there for your convenience and are
treated as unflagged squares by the
game. To mark a square in this way right
click on a square already marked with a
flag (i.e. right click twice). Clicking
it again will clear it.
All preferences are applied and saved the
moment you change them. If you change the
size of the grid, a new game is started.
GNOME Mines Preferences Dialog.Help

If you need to know what version of GNOME Mines
you are running, who wrote it and who owns the
copyright, or you just want it summed up
in a pithy sentence then this menu item
is for you.  No rambling; no beating about the
bush. The About window
tells it like it is. In fact there is
more words in this description than
in the entire about box !
