Status in Getting Things GNOME!: Confirmed

Bug description:
Currently, GTG has 4 menus: Tasks, Edit, View, PLugins, Help.

Recently, with the merge of the preference dialog, the Plugins menu has 
disappeared (maybe just temporarily), which makes me think: shouldn't re-think 
menus a little. There are some issues with the current configuration:

 - "Tasks" menu is inadequate for actions such "Quit"
 - "Tasks" menu action feel much more like the content of the "Edit" menu, 
since those actions are related to task edition
 - "Plugins" focus is too broad: plugins actions should be added to an adequate 
menu, or at least show under a "Tools" menu, which would feel more adequate 
than "plugins".

So I would suggest this:

 - Move task edition actions from "Tasks" menu in "Edit" menu
 - Rename "Tasks" menu in "File" (because it's the norm, although I would 
prefer something that makes more sense)
 - Provide a "Tools" menu to replace the "Plugins" menu

Regarding the "Tools" menu, I would suggest that as long as it doesn't sport 
always-enabled (i.e. non-plugins) tools, it should be hidden when it is empty.
