A few comments on your thoughts: > - I would truely like the ability to compile a source tar ball from > Nautilus. "Build Source" might run ./configure if its exists, then run > make. "Install from Built Source" would then switch to super user and > run make install. These are the sort of tasks which must be performed in a shell.

Nautilus already has this -- you open the remote machine in a Nautilus window. There is smb:/// for windows machines, ssh:///, nfs:///, ftp:/// etc. > - "New Term Here" is a perennial favorite. So much in fact, I think it should be added to Nautilus. > - "Send to Email" seems doable with certain email clients. This should be added by the email client, via the MIME context menu plugins. As a script it would have to sit there and figure out what client to use.
