I have two related questions, both probably (but not necessarily preferentially) accepting the same answer :
When browsing or exploring the filesystem in a GUI, I want to be able to right click on the empty space between the files, choose a menu item and say 'open terminal in this folder,' optionally as root
Do the converse when using the terminal, optionally as root
I use Universe with kubuntu but have Debian Lenny running with gnome installed separately, so anything on kde or gnome would work
