Guikachu: New menu editor

With valuable input from GNOME's #usability iRC channel, I am now implementing this UI for Guikachu's menu editor. A key point of the interface is using D&D for reordering menu items. This requires me to write my own Gtk::TreeModel, which is soomething not really documented. It's coming along nicely: I've got it mostly working, only the implementation of the D&D interfaced needs some cleaning up.

As an interesting coincidence, several threads have started these last weeks on the GTKmm mailing list by people who are implementing their own TreeModels.

Maybe it's the new fashion.
