I don't know what message you're responding to. But as far
as I know, this is the quickest way to mount an ISO file:

sudo modprobe loop
sudo mount -o loop -t iso9660 filename.iso /mnt/mountpoint

where filename.iso is the name of the ISO file, and
/mnt/mountpoint is the directory where the ISO file will be
mounted.

You could put those two lines into a script, then add them
to a right-click menu associated with ISO files in GNOME.
I've never tried that, though, so you'd be on your own.
