OTOH, if I point-n-right-click on my desktop, I get a terminal in my home directory.... seems to work fine for my need! For the curious, here are some suggestions to explore gconftool-2 further: gconftool-2 -R / | grep /apps gconftool-2 -a /apps gconftool-2 -a /desktop gconftool-2 -a /system Under U9.04, If I point into the right half of a folder browser window (for lack of a proper name), right click and choose 'open in terminal', I get *that* as my directory.

#!/bin/sh
# open terminal here – Chris Picton, Martin Enlund, Christophe Combelles – GPL
base=”`echo $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI | cut -d’/’ -f3- | sed ‘s/%20/ /g’`”
if [ -z "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS" ]; then
dir=”$base”
else
while [ ! -z "$1" -a ! -d "$base/$1" ]; do shift; done
dir=”$base/$1″
fi
gnome-terminal –working-directory=”$dir”

this way allows you also, for example, for choosing which terminal emulator you want instead of gnome-terminal, like xterm or any other…

I have mine bound to -Return, use it all the time. If open a terminal is all you want using a key binding for Open Terminal is really nice. I have mine bound to -Return, use it all the time.
