Answer: Nautilus can execute script that can open a gnome-terminal at the current location or selected directory location. All such scripts will be available via right click menu option.
Nautilus Scripts
Nautilus is the official file manager for the GNOME desktop. It has ability to run add-on scripts written in any scripting language (or binary file) without a problem. All add-on scripts must be created and stored at ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts ($HOME/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts) location.Create Open Terminal Here (Open Shell Prompt Here) Shell script
Create file as follows using gedit text editor:$ gedit "$HOME/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts/Open Terminal Here"
Append shell script code:
#!/bin/bashNAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI variable gives current location for directory. NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS sets a newline-delimited paths for selected files.

# Modified to work with spaces in path by Christophe Combelles
# This script either opens in the current directory,
# or in the selected directory
base="`echo $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI | cut -d'/' -f3- | sed 's/%20/ /g'`"
if [ -z "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS" ]; then
dir="$base"
else
while [ ! -z "$1" -a ! -d "$base/$1" ]; do shift; done
dir="$base/$1"
fi
gnome-terminal --working-directory="$dir"
