[Thunar-dev] Executing applications

Hello,

I use Xfce 4.4 RC2, today I decided to test Thunar and found such an 
unpleasant feature. If I click on an executable shell script, it is 
executed without asking me and without giving me any sign of it (i.e. 
without opening a terminal). But if there is no +x bit on it, it is 
opened in Gvim. And the icons of executable and non-executable scripts 
are absolutely identical. I think that it is a Windows-like behavior, 
which is not good for a *nix file manager. I think that some kind of 
dialog must appear asking me about the wanted action.

Thank you for attention and excuse me for my English,
    Gregory Bonik.
