It's a completely incorrect behavior always to open executable text files with Text Editor - lots of executable installers are very big (200-500Mb) and opening very big files with Text Editor causes freeze of operating system for several minutes on older computers, try for example to open Unigine_Valley-1.0.run on computer with 1GB RAM or less: http://unigine.com/products/valley/download/

I was writing not to users, but to developers/system administrators - for example Ubuntu-based Baltix GNU/Linux OS release 13.10 will always ask if user wants to execute or to view executable text file.

Users can simply click on File->Preferences->Behavior and choose "Run executable text files when they are opened" or "Ask each time" under "Executable Text Files" in File Manager
