Feature request #457: REQUEST: add current version info to user interface

Description

A user can't confirm which version of WinSwitch is in use unless they get info on the WS Menu Extra in /Libraries/...

Adding this string to the WinSwitch Preferences window would be effective and simple, I think. (Perhaps Top right corner of the client area?)

    I'm marking all WinSwitch issues closed seeing as I personally no longer use it, and in fact haven't for around 4 years now.

    WinSwitch addressed a real problem with the initial implementation of Fast User Switching in Panther (released October 2003), namely, the excessive screen real estate that it chewed up. Apple fixed that problem in Tiger, if I recall correctly, which came out in April 2005 (or if I'm wrong about it being Tiger, then it was definitely fixed by the time Leopard came out, in October 2007).

    With this change, most of the justification for WinSwitch's existence went away, at least for me. So that's why I'm going to close all these tickets: I can't really support something that I don't use myself.

    But it's open source, so if any one wants to tackle any of these issues and submit patches, I'll be happy to accept them.
