nautilus-python extensions problem.

[minio]

I tryied to write nautilus menu entry extension for opening files as root (as described in one post in howto section). I am newbie in python and progrmming at all and this looks like good first excersie :smile: . But i run into problem the extension works OK, when clicked it opens correct file with correct application as root but freezes nautilus for a minute :-? . Here is the code for extension (redone openterminal extension from examples):

import os

import gtk
import nautilus

class OpenTerminalExtension(nautilus.MenuProvider):
def __init__(self):
pass

def _open_terminal(self, file):
os.system("gksudo 'gnome-open %s'" % file.get_uri())


def menu_activate_cb(self, menu, file):
self._open_terminal(file)


def get_file_items(self, window, files):
if len(files) != 1:
return

file = files[0]
if file.is_directory() or file.get_uri_scheme() != 'file':
return

item = nautilus.MenuItem('NautilusPython::openterminal_fi le_item',
'Open As Root' ,
'Open File %s As Root' % file.get_name())
item.connect('activate', self.menu_activate_cb, file)
return item,

I have no idea where is the problem. Can anyone help me please?
