I use Thunar which is part of XFCE and just right click and choose "Open Terminal Here". I tend to avoid Nautilus where ever possible. I tried it a while ago on a customers Red Hat desktop and experimented with the CD burning capabilities. Being in a folder style view and wanting to remove files that I'd dragged across with a view to burning I was more than a little worrying, particularly being on a customer desktop, since the option required was 'delete'. Now I know that means 'delete this reference in the list of files to burn', but it was still unnerving. It put me in mind of the Mac concept of dragging your floppy disk icon across to the shredder to eject - I'm sorry, that still says format to me, or delete all contents! I've also been unfortunately subject to Nautilus taking over my desktop when using XFCE becuase I've either forgotten to use the switch to disable it, or it has been started for me without the switch. As such my current XFCE desktop for some bizarre reason only manages a dot under an icon on the desktop instead of the text that was there before Nautilus took over and messed with something! As has been said, it is a case of horses for courses, and for me KDE and Gnome both fail to cut it - I'd rather work a little harder and get XFCE working nicely. That said, I do recommend Gnome to new users of Linux, and that is on the family PC for the wife and kids. If I ever get around to rolling up all my little XFCE customisations into a .deb package I may switch them across, but not for now. I may, however, have to try that nautilus-open-terminal package just to see where the terminal opens up to find where Nautilus mounts things. I have a suspicion it does it in a very non-Linux (non-*nix), dare I say it 'embrace and extend' way rather than simply mounting properly - certainly nothing shows up on df. -- Paul Tansom | Aptanet Ltd. | http://www.aptanet.com/ | 023 9238 0001 ====================================================================== Registered in England | Company No: 4905028 | Registered Office: Crawford House, Hambledon Road, Denmead, Waterlooville, Hants, PO7 6NU -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
