Bug Description
Installing any number of plugins which as nautilus image plugin or bzr-gtk will quickly show that each right click menu has it's own and distinctive menu ordering for each of these plugins.
What is happening is that these plugins are being processed and their results are not being stored as a set list. This means that the menu location is unpredictable and the more plugins installed the worse it would get.
This is a bad behaviour and it will disrupt the design flow and constancy of nautilus. If this problem can be fixed in some way by the plugins themselves, I can't find it. So it seems to be a nautilus bug.
STR: Install a number of plugins including the image plugin, right click on an image, now right click an image and a sound file. The menu items are still there, but (at least on my machine) the resize and rotate options have switched places.
Nautilus: 2.22.3
Ubuntu: 8.04.1

Most testing indicated that it shows up mostly when more than one kind of file is selected. Different files (and thus I suspect different plugin execution orders) produce different menus.
