[gedit-list] Python Plugins - placeholder names and behaviors

[Ed Greenberg <edg greenberg org>]

I'm working through the HowTo at 
http://live.gnome.org/Gedit/PythonPluginHowTo and have built the 
ExamplePy that clears the current document. The code worked as expected, 
but the placement of the menu choice is wrong.

My xml looks like so:

ui_str = """<ui>
<menubar name="Menubar">
<menu name="ToolsMenu" action="Tools">
<placeholder name="ToolsOps_2">
<menuitem name="ExamplePy" action="ExamplePy"/>
</placeholder>
</menu>
</menubar>
</ui>
"""

Unfortunately, this wound up as the last item on the View menu. I have 
no clue why.

I've looked around for examples of the various placeholder names and 
where they are supposed to fall, but can't really find anything with 
Google Searches except for code listings. I can't find any documentation 
at all. Perhaps I don't know what to search for.

Can somebody please point me in the right direction so I can control 
where my menu items land?

Thanks
