sunSeems like you diffed the wrong way (removing changes instead off adding)...
Isn't there a more generic way for the conditional statement? Don't forget, we are dealing with the menu system.

sunAnother thought: If we add an edit button to the Admin Menu, couldn't we remove it from local tasks then?

eojthebraveOops, I'm kind of new to this, sorry about the incorrect diff. I'll look into the conditional statement and see if I can come up with anything a bit more generic.
As far as removing the edit button from the local tasks tab, I'm not sure if that would get to confusing for people who expect it to be there or not. Perhaps it could be a configurable option?

sunI thought quite some time about this request and came to the conclusion that it isn't a good idea to implement an inconsistent menu item like this into admin_menu.
A better approach would be to integrate the complete tabs a.k.a. local tasks of the currently displayed page into admin_menu. In most of my themes I don't have a clue about where those (often for administrative pruposes only) items could be positioned intelligently.
The new function
admin_menu_move_item()should make this a 5 minute job.Comment #5
sunAttached patch adds the proposed menu item 'Tasks' to Administration Menu. However, it needs to be tested if this approach is usable.
Comment #6
sunI have tested this path in a project. Moving local tasks into Admin Menu did not convince me.
I'd like to get some feedback from others and of course, some votes.

sunSeems like noone is interested in this patch.
