hmm, if it is executable, it executes. Not very nice because you don't see any 
output since shell scripts normally have no gui ;) Some installers or 
launchers are exceptions.
I think this is a problem. There is no visual feedback and something happens 
which you are not aware of. 
According to the file manager settings, it should open in kwrite. 

If a shell script executes, it should at least do so in a konsole window, so 
that you see the output. Even better: ask before.

Perhaps it would be good to look into an executable, if it is a native binary, 
links to libX11 and only then, execute it on click.

many of my shell scripts do nasty things like cleaning up whole directories, 
doing clean on the whole kde src tree to recompile everything etc., I would 
never like to execute them without seeing what they are doing and where they 
are doing it ($PWD).
