Adding right-click for terminal in Fedora 15


Anyone know how to add the capability to right-click on the desktop in Fedora 15 to get the terminal? I googled it and there was an article which said to install gnome-tweak-tool and use the file manager. So I did, but right click does exactly nothing.

Hello,

You should be able to just do the following:
Code:
yum install nautilus-open-terminal
Cheers,

Josh

I did that, but it doesn't solve the problem in Fedora 15. I was running Fedora 13 before I upgraded to 15, and it worked in 13. Not not in 15.

Hmmmm . . . well, that is interesting. Because it still does work for me! I did do the yum update, and even tried changing to a vanilla-flavored mouse just in case my roller-ball mouse was the problem. But no joy.
.
As I understand it, I am using Gnome 3 with FC15. Where does Nautilus come in, if I may ask a dumb question? Perhaps I am missing an important step.

OK, I have it solved, finally. I found the following, which works. Obviously I do not claim the credit for this, but am passing it on.

"In Fedora 15, nautilus does not handle the desktop by default, nor can you right click on the desktop to bring up the menu. To enable this, install gnome-tweak-tool by using Add/Remove Software. Then, launch it and click on File Manager and then change “Have File Manager handle the Desktop” to “on”."

Man that was annoying even just on the testing vm for fedora 15...... Apparently we're not allowed to put things on the desktop by default anymore
