Bug Description

Nautilus-open-terminal does not provide the "Open In Terminal" context menu option for the Home, Documents, or Trash icons maintained by Nautilus on the desktop. Since those items are presented to the user as "folders-like" entities, they should be treated as such by nautilus-open-terminal.

This may also affect volumes mounted on the desktop.

Under Dapper, these desktop items can be enabled from the gconf location /apps/nautilus/desktop.

There is currently no way to query a file's activation URI for extension. I've sent a mail to nautilus-list and hope that we'll be able to fix it soon.
