Bug Description
By default, Ubuntu (Edfy Eft and all the others I tried) mounts NTFS and FAT32 partitions with executable bits enabled for all files. So, when I try to open an text file at a NTFS/FAT partition, Nautilus complains that the file is an "executable text file".
That is is the /etc/fstab line for the partition
# /dev/hda2
UUID=8404C94A04
I've fixed that behavior changing the line:
# /dev/hda2
UUID=8404C94A04
So only the directories/folders have the executable bit enabled.

Oops, I think I made a mistake:
Instead of dmask=000 and fmask=111, make that:
dmask=222 (reading and executable bits for directories)
fmask=333 (only reading bits for files).
