Adding "Edit Menu" to the Actions menu

[Todd Kulesza <todd dropline net>]

I wrote up a small patch that adds an Edit Menu launcher to the Actions 
menu.  My thinking was that menu editing isn't very discoverable in its 
current implementation of right-clicking.  This launcher just opens up 
the nautilus applications: URI where people have the 
Edit->Cut/Copy/Paste and File->New Launcher commands readily available. 
 I have a screenshot up at:

Right now the patch is against gnome-panel-2.2.0, but if there's any 
interest in actually using it, I'll port it over to HEAD instead.
