[Ilugc] rightclick menu, open file with custom shell script

[Kishore Reddy]

I had similar requirement (En queuing files in totem). After googling
I found that you can write scripts (whatsoever may be the programming
language) and put that in ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts and give execute
permissions. If you do that, whenever you right-click any file you can
see "Scripts" in the context menu and int the Scripts menu you can see
your script name. Clicking on that, shell passes the filename as the
argument to your script.
