There have been a number of bugs reported recently, and lots of confusion
on what version that is being run, and various other parameters. Having to
guess this information causes a small stream of guessing...
Is it possible to set up a utility program or menu selection which outputs
things like:
The Gentoo community has used this type of feature to good result. Maybe
it is either time to do the same, OR if it is already developed - to ask
people to use it.

That menu entry probably needs a better name though. Ideas?

How about something like:
Help->Debug Info.

I would suggest a copy button -- principle of least surprise, and if I
already had something on the clipboard I could lose it.

If we're changing the labeling i would call it "Version Info" or possibly
"Build Info"
I think adding a "Copy to clipboard" button would be great, and even better
if the info was wrapped in the appropriate markdown for code block, and
maybe also the expandable/collapsable markdown, as it can become arduous to
scroll past especially when multiple people have pasted theirs into an
issue.
