please remove nautilus-open-terminal package

[Adam Dingle]

In recent versions of Nautilus such as 3.14 (included with Ubuntu 15.04), the Open in Terminal command is built in. So there's no need for the user to install the nautilus-open-terminal package. In fact if they do install it then the "Open in Terminal" menu item appears twice when the user right clicks in a Nautilus window. So the package is now useless, and should be removed from any new Ubuntu releases.

[Adam Dingle (adam-yorba)]

To be more precise, Open in Terminal is not actually built into Nautilus, but it is now part of the gnome-terminal package, which installs the libterminal-nautilus extension (at /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libterminal-nautilus.so). So the version in the nautilus-open-terminal package is now redundant and obsolete.

[Scott Kostyshak (scott-kostyshak)]

Note that the two are not equivalent. Right-clicking on the desktop and selecting "open terminal" with gnome-terminal's plugin opens the terminal with the working directory as the home directory. The feature from nautilus-open-terminal opens a terminal with the desktop as the working directory.

Is there a way of selecting which of the two (gnome-terminal or nautilus-open-terminal) is active? I prefer the latter's behaviour for a right-click on the desktop, but would prefer not to have two "Open in Terminal" choices in the context menu for any other situation.

I was able to disable gnome-terminal's extension simply by running `sudo mv /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/libterminal-nautilus.so{,.bak}`. Nothing has broken on my machine as a result of this (yet).
