Starting a terminal window at selected directory from naulitus

[Eric Whitcombe]

I would like to be able to launch a shell terminal window that starts in 
the directory I select in nautilus.

In windows it's a real simple .inf file called "Command Prompt Here". It 
is installed with XP.

I have tried adding a custom Open With for directories that runs bash 
but it seems to run a bash window which goes away immedaitely.  (that's 
if I click "run in terminal"). I tried specifying gnome-terminal and 
that doesn't work.

Anyone got a tip. This seems like a real intuitive feature that should 
be automatically installed with linux. More so than windows.

It seems a glaring omission to me.
