Hi Hartman,
Thanks for info and link; I actually tried nautilus-actions and could not get it to work. :|
After a week of trying to make gnome happen, I gave up; and, went the xfce route. Everything works flawlessly! :D
I guess, it is beacuse I am running 5.7; instead; of a more recent centos release.
Thank you!
