Bug Description

A right-click on a file/folder in the side pane's Tree view reveals a menu with
only a subset of the functions that the right-click menu usually has (when
invoked in the actual folder view, or from icons on the desktop).

Namely, these entries are missing:
- Open with [insert secondary app]
- Open with Other Application...
- Make link
- Rename
- Delete (if enabled in preferences)
- Send to
- Create archive

Also, RMB menu of _files_ in the tree view (if Tree View: Show only folders is
unselected in preferences) has items named "Cut/Copy/Paste _folder_".

Nautilus version: 2.10.0-0ubuntu9

One more important thing : when you are fixing this bug, don't forget to look for "copy CD" option, it also doesn't show when clicking on the tree view.

If the "nautilus-gksu" package is installed, it do not shows up in the right click menu.
This bug appear if the locales to a specific language are installed.
I install the romanian language pack (all the necessary package) in Ubuntu 8.04 Beta
but the bug appear in Gutsy and Feisty as well.
If no locales are installed the "nautilus-gksu" works fine.
I don't know how to report that bug.
