"Undescribed panel" in Sidepanels of Preferences dialog

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the Preferences dialog from the Edit menu.
2. Open the Sidepanels tab.
3. Click on a panel from the list, and select the About button.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
When you click on the Sidepanels tab, a new board is opened. When you switch to 
another tab in the Preferences dialog, the new board goes away. Clicking on the 
Sidepanels tab doesn't seem to imply that a new board will be opened.

Also, with the exception of the "Hints" panel, when you click on the About 
button for a particular panel, a new dialog opens with "Undescribed panel". The 
descriptions of the panels already describe the panels well, so most of the 
panels probably do not need an About dialog. Perhaps the About button should be 
disabled for panels that do not require additional description.

Does it happen every time?
Yes.

What version of the product are you using?
0.12rc1

Did you use an installed version of PyChess or did you run in from a
tarball/svn?
I'm using the svn version, although the problem is also present in 0.12beta3, 
which is installed in my Ubuntu 14.04 desktop.

Thanks for the bug report. I can reproduce on Fedora 20.

I agree with David that the About button is redundant and should be removed. 
Tamas, what do you think?

The fix removes the About button, but a new board still opens when clicking on 
the Sidepanels tab.

Yes, it's the intended behavior. It shows the board and sidepanels skeletons to 
help seeing what(where) is on/off.
