I think the assumption is that if you already have the application open, you can open another window easily within the application itself so it makes more sense to put the open command in the shell on the right-click menu. This is consistent with the Windows 7 behavior, which I find quite intuitive and easy to use. I think the problem is that you're using a 20th-century terminal emulator in a 21st-century shell. :-) Try gnome-terminal, in which you can open a new terminal from an existing one easily with ctrl-shift-n. jik -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
