Why is there a newline inserted here? I think it looked a lot better
without it and there's no semantic reason why there should be a newline
at this place.

Please do not use newlines do adjust spacing. Especially not in
translatable strings. The spacing in the about dialog is set to what the
HIG suggests and should be fine without such hacks. If you really think
it needs to be changed, please file a bug-report against GTK+.

+#ifdef GIMP_UNSTABLE
+      gchar       *comment = g_strconcat (GIMP_DESCRIPTION, "\n\n",
+                            _("This is an unstable development
release."),
+                            "\n", NULL);
+#endif

Same comment applies here.
