I would prefer that you discuss this with upstream, since I'm not the
person to convince on the features to add in gedit. I reopened the bug
though, until we discuss this (use "reopen $bugid" in a mail to
[EMAIL PROTECTED] to reopen a bug).
I tested what can be edited in the GNOME menu, sadly the current menu
system in GNOME 2.8 is broken and has a lot of bugs, and I came across
one of them: editing the "preferences" of the menu entry will make the
menu entry disappear!
The menu system was rewritten in 2.9, and a new system will be made
available for GNOME 2.10, so I won't chase that bug.
The new system doesn't deal with user menus right now, so don't count
on it right now, but upstream now they've got to do this.

I don't know.

I can try to ask upstream, but I think the default behavior should be
configurable.
