I am clicking on the files in Nautilus File Manager

Well, in that screen everything looks okay.  When i go into File Types and
Programs, all the file extentions are listed and some of them have programs
to open them.  But most like, .rar, .tgz, .tar, .zip, .rpm have "none" in the
Default Action.  Now i know, the command "rpm" opens .rpm's, and gzip opens
zip files, but if i do that, will it work like it does in kde?  Or will it
open up a terminal window?  I would really prefer if it would work like it
did in KDE if at all possible.
