Bug Description

From GNOME bug #131792 (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131792):

''
"Open Terminal" is not an action important enough to the average user to be
placed in the desktop context menu. If the user needs a terminal so badly,
he or she can drag an icon to the desktop from the System Tools menu, or
add a launcher to his or her panel.''

Apparently there is a patch to this (see
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=131792).

After observing end-users' confusions, I do agree with those settings.

This upload fixes the issue:

 nautilus (2.11.1-0ubuntu1) breezy; urgency=low
 .
   * New upstream version:
     - use authentication in external connect to server app UI polish.
     - allow DnD of location button icon.
     - context menus on location button and location label in browser.
     - speed up delete in list view.
     - fix rename in list view breaking when there was a file change.
     - removed "new terminal" from desktop context menu
       If you want this, install the nautilus-open-terminal extension,
       its much better than this feature ever was (Ubuntu: #8091).
     - don't thumbnail files constantly if they're changing (Ubuntu: #1573).
     - fixed a loop that could happen on remote locations when removing
       a directory.
     - add properties of the current folder menu item to background
       context menu.
     - use --no-desktop in default folder handler to avoid taking over
       the desktop if you don't run gnome.
   * debian/control.in:
     - updated the Build-Depends.
   * debian/watch:
     - updated.
