Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
When providing the desktop under Unity in Natty, the menu (displayed in the panel) when the desktop has focus should be as follows:
File
Create Folder...
Create Document...
---
Open Location...
Connect to Server
Edit
Cut
Copy
Paste
---
Select All
Select Items Matching...
Invert Selection
Duplicate
Make Links
Rename...
Copy to...
Move to...
Move to Rubbish Bin
---
Change Desktop Background
View
Show Hidden Files
Organise Files by Name
Keep Aligned
Places
*** unchanged ***
Help
Ubuntu Documentation
An alternative description of this bug would list the changes from the default / current Nautilus menu, as follows:
File menu: all the entries associated with the "parent folder" are not relevant, so drop "Open Parent" and "Close Parent Folders" along with "Close All Folders" and "Close".
Edit menu: drop the "backgrounds and emblems" item, as we don't want people changing the desktop background that way. Add a "Change Desktop background" item, which opens the Appearance Prefs on the desktop wallpaper tab. Drop "Preferences" as that will be available when the file manager is explicitly open showing a folder.
View menu: we drop all entries which are not relevant to the desktop, so Stop and Reload, as well as the "Reset View to Defaults" item (we are always using the defaults here as best I can tell) and the alternative layout formats Icons/Desktop/
We leave the Places menu unchanged.
In Help we drop the "About" because it is an implementation detail that Nautilus is rendering the desktop (this entry can remain in the normal folder window menu, when Nautilus is explicitly being run as a file manager). We add the "Ubuntu Documentation" entry as a more explicit version of "Contents".

Ted, you worked on getting the nautilus default menu exported last cycle so you probably know what needs to be done better. Could that be done from unity or does it require nautilus tweaking?
