GNOME Goal: Drop Libsexy library

Summary

Some widgets from libsexy library are integrated in Gtk+, so we can eliminate libsexy dependency in some applications.

Replace SexyIconEntry by GtkEntry icon functionality (available in GTK+ 2.16)
Replace SexyUrlLabel by GtkLabel URL functionality (available in GTK+ 2.17.1)

Useful docs:

GtkEntry reference doc. Migrating from SexyIconEntry to GtkEntry guide in Gtk+ reference manual.
GtkLabel reference doc. Also Patch that add link support to GtkLabel and GtkLabel source code

Tip: If you choose to work on a module, create the bug report on the GNOME bugzilla, and make it block bug 585385.
This way people will know someone already works on it, and won't duplicate the work you're doing.
