For example: Load a textfile in the source code view in nautilus. You
will now have 2 * (Copy, Cut, Paste) in the Edit menu... Hmmm.


But my main problem with embedded views are the lack of functionality:
Browsing with the galeon-view is a pain compared to browsing with
standalone galeon. Because none of those important features that makes
galeon such a great browser is available when using the component. 
-- And thats probably god, since the UI would be totally weird if the
menues and buttons of nautilus and galeon was merged.
