How can I customize Ubuntu 10.04 so the menu created by left clicking inside a folder or desktop gives me the option of opening up a terminal in that location? I have thsi functionality in the XFCE desktop on my Xubuntu 10.04 laptop. Any ideas?

Cool thanks but it doesn't take effect right away. You have to restart Gnome by entering "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" into terminal. Once Gnome loads back up it works fine :) Thanks. – classer – 2010-07-23T10:43:27.223

13@Adam: You don't have to restart GNOME, just Nautilus (nautilus -q should do the trick). – Bruce van der Kooij – 2010-08-17T10:34:34.667
