Bug Description

http://osnews.com/img/8286/shot4.png
I can't launch shell scripts from within Nautilus (permissions are right btw).
Nautilus opens them with Gedit instead (it doesn't give me the popup window if
I want to edit or run a script). When I try to bind them with "sh" or "exec",
Nautilus doesn't let me! So, how do I fix that? The Gnome preference panel
that lets you edit directly the file types has dissapeared!

And also, I can't run ANY "Nautilus Script" (the ones that show normally on
context menu's "Scripts"). I copied my nautilus scripts from my slackware on
~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/, I gave them the right execution permissions, but
no cake. Nautilus won't execute anything, neither it would display them!

What's going on with Nautilus and the new MIME type system? It doesn't work
properly!
