Try this: (It's clumsy, yeah, but maybe better than nothing...)
Put the following script in your ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/
directory (name it XTerm_here.sh, say):
#!/bin/bash
if [ -z "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI" ]
then
FOLDER="$HOME"
elif [ "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI" = "file://$HOME/.gnome-desktop" ]
then
FOLDER="$HOME"
else
FOLDER=`echo "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI" \
| sed -e 's/^file:\/\///' -e 's/%20/\ /g`
fi
cd "$FOLDER" && xterm
exit 0
Make it executable. E.g., if you named the script XTerm_here.sh:
$ chmod u+x ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/XTerm_here.sh
Now, right-click on the desktop and go to the Scripts submenu. The
new script will probably not be listed, so go down to "Open Scripts
Folder" and select that. That should get the script noticed and
added to the right-click -> Scripts submenu.

As far as I know, those things can't be done.

Sorry to say, I've not had a lot of luck with that sort of thing. I
sometimes end up using either Nautilus scripts (as above) or desktop
launchers instead. (To pass arguments to a program/script called
from a launcher, use '%U'. For example, a launcher with 'gv %U' as
its command should open a dragged-n-dropped .eps file using gv.)
So... no, that's not ideal.
Nautilus is under heavy development though. Some of the lists here
are kinda interesting to follow:
