Re: Cleaning up the nautilus context menu

[Link Dupont <link dupont gmail com>]

I like both of the proposed removals. Stretch icon is a leftover from
the glory days of Eazel's Nautilus I think. But yes, it could
definitely be moved into the properties dialog.
And I second the proposal to remove the "Use Default Background".
That's left over from when Nautilus had themes, and the theme would
set its own background. Now maybe if the GNOME Theme manager would
ever implement the BackgroundImage= in index.themes, that context menu
could set the image suggested in the index.theme. But the theme
manager would need to fully implement that directive first.
Cheers,
