[SOLVED]Nautilus open terminal

Hi, I'm using GNome 2.22 and i'm trying to decide not to leave nautilus (a good File Manager) to use other software so i kindly ask if someone can explain me how to configure it in order to have the OPEN TERMINAL (or similar) option when i right click on the page while using nautilus.
I remember that Thunar (XFCE4 File Manager) implements this by default.

I've tried to install from AUR the nautilus-open-terminal but nothing changed!

Thanks in advance

It's in [community].  Have you tried logging out and back in again? 

I rebooted.  I know that's overkill, but I did it anyway.

Re: [SOLVED]Nautilus open terminal

Tried but nothing changed!
any other suggestion?

I can't believe that such a software isn't able to a thing like that.
In my opinion is a MUST for a linux file manager...

Re: [SOLVED]Nautilus open terminal

you need to get the latest nautilus-open-terminal and compile it for gnome 2.22.

Give what you have. To someone, it may be better than you dare to think.

Solution tested and working?

Back in a while for feedback

[EDIT] That worked thanks!Instead of compiling the version provided in AUR i've downloaded the 0.9 version and now everything works.
Thanks again

You can find it HERE.

Download it and then do a sudo pacman -U <package>

By the way I've also uploaded a linphone 1.6 package and ffmpeg compatible that can be installed without other further operations on an Arch-box

You have to set up the urxvt as default gnome terminal in System - Preferences - Preferred Applications - System
