Help!!!!! Mime type deletion

[Eric Whitcombe]

I have noticed that people with mime questions don't seem to get answers 
posted. But I'll try anyway.

In trying to work out the problem below I deleted the mime type 
x-directory/normal. Now I can't get any settings for this type to save. 
Neither through nautilus nor Control Center | File Types and programs.

If I recerate the type I get the message that it already exists and even 
if I overwrite it doesn't save.
I am pulling my hair out at how hard it is to get ANY info on what seems 
to me really simple issues.  Is anybody out there?????

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.
