Orest,

Thank you very much for your work in investigating and suggesting 
a fix which adds drag-drop file capability between Nautilus and
gnome-terminals.  I forwarded your suggestion to our internal 
group but I suggest that you should submit it to the official 
nautilus mailing list:   nautilus-list lists eazel com
or the main gnome mail list: gnome-list gnome org for discussion.  
Sun works closely with the GNOME and Nautilus communities but we
can't 
make such a change without the approval of the community.  It is also

important for the author of the change (you) to get credit.  Good
luck!

The result is that the full path to

directory 
from NAUTILUS and drop it into
