Description of problem: There is no "ui" directory under "/usr/share/nautilus/" so I can't modify the arrangement of the items in the right-click desktop context-menu (which was made by editing the .xml file in the directory). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 17 Steps to Reproduce: There is no nautilus "ui" directory present. Actual results: I couldn't find /usr/share/nautilus/ui/ folder. Expected results: The presence of /usr/share/nautilus/ui folder and the required files for modifying the context menu.

I'm afraid you'd have to touch the code in order to do that. Glade files are not that widely used, most of the UI may be hardcoded in the sources or compiled in as a resource.
Check this Ubuntu thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1786591 especially jayboe's reply. And also this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3326507/edit-original-nautilus-context-menu You will see that /usr/share/nautilus/ui/ was available (in the past) and unless that one is available, I can't modify the right-click desktop menu in gnome3 (maybe I want to switch the places of "Create New Folder" and "Create New Document". How can I do that?) Where are the "ui" xml files (you can see in the second link what xml files I'm pointing at)? Thank you.
That's not really "OPEN SOURCE", is it??? You are limiting the users' ways of customization!

While this was certainly nice feature to some users, the Gnome project is evolving rapidly and especially Nautilus ("Files") has undergone huge changes. > How can I do that?)

The only officially supported way of extending Nautilus was through the extensions, using libnautilus-extension library. Other way of customizations were just messing with application internals and generally discouraged. While the UI files were available previously, no one was supposed to touch them and given the recent changes, it is no more used. (In reply to comment #3) > That's not really "OPEN SOURCE", is it???

Nautilus is open source, you can grab the source code and modify it for your needs (and even redistribute your changes etc.). If you want to have a way to modify your context menu, please file a RFE bugreport in upstream bugzilla or start discussion on project mailing list. Closing from Fedora side.
