Hi Jean-Samuel,

I think your patch will facilitate use of 3rd party python plugins, as
the current way of executing commands from the Python shell is not quite
user friendly. I vote for merging the patch, but we need to fix some
code formatting issues first.

Also, I wonder if it would be the right thing to group menu entries by
their categories to create submenus. It could be a simple way to
organize the actions provided by python plugins. Just an idea.

Another question is about the following lines:
+        if( IsGalCanvasActive() )
+        {
+            UseGalCanvas( GetGalCanvas() );
+        }

What is exactly the goal here? If it is only about refreshing the
canvas, then a simple Refresh() call should fix the problem.

Regards,
Orson
