Yes, you are right, I missed that (but I never log out either, being the only 
user...).

Look for the directory ~/.gnome2/nautilus-scripts  (at least that's where it 
is in Meerkat) and create a textfile with the code you want (the file name 
will be the command name). make it executable.

The Scripts option should now appear. I use this way to mount nfs shares too, 
basically you can create as many commands as you wish. If there is a way to 
log out from the command line (of course there is!), you can write a logout 
script.
