Comment #5 on issue 29089 by tony.chromium: Edit search engines and paste options don't do anything in popup windows
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=29089

I think we should just disable these menu items. The built-in menu items aren't removed (Cut, Copy, Paste, etc) so we should match the system and not remove our menu
items, just disable them.

The Gnome HIG suggests the same:
http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/menus-design.html.en
"Do not remove command items from the menu when they are unavailable, make them insensitive instead. This allows the user to infer what functionality the application provides even if it is not currently available, and keeping the menu structure static
makes it easier to memorize."

That said, I think it's ok to also just make our own popup menu with "Copy" in it.
