Funny I find myself on the 'darkside' in this circumstance, but
for tarballs I prefer to r-click and preview with Archiver (ark),
then choose Extract to. Mainly cause it handles any kind of
compressed files, even windoze .zips, if you have the proper
decompress utils installed. Both it an FileRunner will even
handle .rar's
Tho I usually do those on the CL
