That sounds like the Right Thing to Do.

Subject:  [ethereal-dev] Any objection to #if 0-ing out the
      Edit->{Cut,Copy,Paste} menu items?




They're currently grayed out, but I seem to remember that this confused
one user who thought they needed to do something (other, that is, than
grabbing the source code and implementing cut/copy/paste) to make them
usable, rather than that they simply weren't available, period.

I'm inclined to "#if 0" out the code to put them, and the subsequent
separator, out, until such time as we implement cut/copy/paste.  (I'm
also inclined to leave "cut" out until we actually implement "cut", i.e.
copy the selected item to the clipboard *and then delete it*.)

Any objections?
