Jekyll, just a quick note to let you know that I appreciate any improvements in this area! I've been hit by this issue quite a few times myself when I clicked shell scripts or Python scripts and wondered what they did in the end. Being able to open them in a Konsole would definitely be an improvement.

There is bug 172038 which is about showing a dialog when clicking a script ("Run/Run in Konsole/Edit/Cancel"), just like Nautilus does. I don't know how this could be implemented in a clean way, but I like the idea. At least if there was also a "Don't ask again" checkbox in the dialog and the possibility to change that choice in the settings.
