[Shotwell] Profiling Specific Actions in Shotwell

[Clint Rogers]

Hi Joe,

That's a good idea, and it isn't a terribly intrusive change, so it should
be easy to get approved.  Let me make up a ticket for it so we can track it
the right way, but I think I can have this at least submitted for review in
a matter of minutes.

I'll start on it now.

Cheers,
-c
