Here's a script I use. It will not work with filenames containing
spaces. Maybe someone could fix that....

It depends on a folder named /media/ISO existing. This can be easily
edited in the script. 

NOTE: You must right-click on the iso file and use the umount script or
you will get an error. DO NOT right click on the icon on your desktop to
umount it or you will get an error.

These script require that gksudo be installed. 

Just make sure they are executable and drop them in your
~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts folder.
