nautilus-open-terminal should be a standard package in Ubuntu. Compressed it will only be adding about 30Kb to the total size of the install CD and it forms the perfect bridge between arguably the two most important tools of the modern desktop Linux user - the file manager (nautilus) and the terminal.
I REALLY can't understand why nautilus-open terminal isn't a standard part of the Ubuntu/Debian GNOME meta-package when stuff like Inkscape, Transmission and now even Mono are. nautilus-open-terminal would be useful to everyone who uses GNOME- Ubuntu is doing a great job of minimising peoples need to use the terminal to be productive but its still some way of totally supplanting all need for the terminal and the truth of the matter is that it never will as experienced users know the many advantages to using the terminal alone or in conjunction with a GUI file manager.
nautilus-open-terminal is always one of the first things I install on any GNOME system.
Since several new users find it difficult to use the "cd" and miss the capitals/
This should be simple method to encourage more users to use terminal...
