[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 111951] Right click tomboy applet option, "Open Plugins Folder" shouldn't be there

[Joseph Garvin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: tomboy

1. Start tomboy
2. Right click its icon in the system tray
3. Observe the "Open Plugins Folder" option

You can get the same option by right clicking the system tray icon,
selecting preferences, then plugins, then clicking open plugins folder.
That seems like an appropriate place for the option. But I don't see why
it should be in the menu when right clicking the system tray. It's far
from a common action and mostly only of interest to power users, and
even to them only rarely. It also seems inconsistent with other apps,
like Pidgin, which usually avoid putting preferences tabs suboptions in
the list. I don't know whether it violates the HIG, but it certainly
looks out of place.
