That would make sense, indeed. I always though that my "Information"
tab was kinda weird.
Initially, I wanted to also feature the "i" BeOS/Haiku icon as in any
about box, but actually rendered in 3D by the active renderer ;-) A
more simpler way would be to have an OpenGL gears rendered in
GearsView instead of a bitmap.

That would be a move back to sources, as when I wrote the first
implementation, it was called "GLInfo" and located under
src/tests/kits/opengl/glinfo, IIRC.
