The open-terminal option is available on dapper using F8, and open-konsole 
using F4.
I personnaly agree with the fact that the open-terminal isn't necessary for 
the average users, and doesn't appear in the menus...
Anyway, documenting the F8 shortcut in the desktop documentation on the way 
could be interesting.

Well, the problem is that it is not possible to browse every kind of files in 
konqueror, except tgz and zip.
bz, bz2, 7z, and all other formats will in any case open in Ark, cause there 
is no kioslave actually...
So the question is "do we want an homogenous way to manage compressed files or 
not ?"
I, personnaly, prefer to see the "desktop" managing all compressed files the 
same way, although I can understand the other opinion.
