Gnome 3 desktop right-click

For Gnome 3 users, here's an important note for anybody who feels that quick access to a Terminal is the most important thing on a desktop computer.

Change the settings to show desktop with nautilus.
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true
Install nautilus-open-terminal
sudo yum install nautilus-open-terminal

Great success.

    1. Fixed it.
      after you do what was said above, use the command:
      nautilus -q
      it will reset nautilus("Files" in fedora), so next time you open it, you'll have that option.
