TimeLine window pulldowns work sorta (for the options that were coded :)

Still trying to bring back code without recoding uiDefButs. In future these
will get directly operator stuff linked. For time being made a simple 
operator call function, like:

WM_operator_call(C, "ED_MARKER_OT_add");

and for forcing operator to run in the main region-window:

WM_operator_call_rwin(C, "ED_MARKER_OT_add");

These calls also work for modal operators, like marker grab in this case.
