Nautilus spatial "Places" menu

[Scott Hunt <george battleforce com>]

After playing with Nautilus 2.6 for a while, I'm completely sold.
However, I'm wondering if there's an easy way to add entries to the 
"places" menu?
I know that I can add entries to the menu by editing 
"/usr/share/gnome-2.0/ui/nautilus-spatial-window-ui.xml", but then I 
have menu entries that don't do anything.

Because this was bothering me, I dug into the code, and created a patch 
that reads a "uri" entry in said xml file to make this work.

Is there an easier way?

Thanks.
