 '''What steps should be taken to consistently reproduce the problem?'''
 1. Log in as author or contributor
 2. Go to the posts page in wp-admin

 '''Problem?'''
 The user can't edit or trash anything, yet the bulk actions select box and
 check-all-checkboxes are displayed. This is confusing for users.

 '''Solution'''
 The users might be able to edit or trash posts created by himself so
 checking for capabilities is not enough. When the bulk edit selectbox is
 displayed it's not yet known if the user can edit or trash something so
 it's easier to use javascript to hide the unwanted elements.

 Patch will follow below (not sure if the function is in the right place)
