For the terminal, install nautilus-open-terminal
There is also nautilus-gksu that you can install to to have a "open as
administrator". Install nautilus-image-converter to convert images and
nautilus-script-audio-convert for audio, and nautilus-wallpaper to be
able to choose wallpaper.

For arbitrary items, install nautilus-actions.

To be able to write scripts that can be launched on rightclick, see the
nautilus-script-* packages
