IMHO we should do that only for scripts.

> This patch allows the user to execute (in background, within the embedded terminal, external terminal) or open an executable file (scripts, desktop files...). When the user clicks on an executable file, a [dialog](https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/media/uploaded/files/2014/09/12/0fa53887-666f-4121-9ec6-9f323d633d03__dialog.png) pops up which contains options to either open it or execute it. Clicking on execute runs the program in the background (dolphin's current behaviour).

The program can either be executed in the background or inside the embedded konsole or in an external terminal.
