Public bug reported:

In Nautilus 3.14 as it comes from GNOME, the Open in Terminal command
(provided by the gnome-terminal package) is available in the gear menu
on the right side of the toolbar.  (It's also available from the context
menu when you right click in an empty area of the list or icon view, but
if many files are displayed there is no empty area to click, so I think
it's essential to have it available in a top-level menu as well.)

With Ubuntu's patches to Nautilus, the gear menu is gone and most gear
menu commands move to top-level menus such as File, Edit and so on.
Unfortunately Open in Terminal doesn't appear there, so there's no way I
can access it when there is no empty space to click in the list or icon
view.

(Note that there is a similar bug in GNOME: see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=744161 .  I think that's a
separate issue, however.  I believe the bug I'm reporting here is caused
by Ubuntu's patches to Nautilus 3.14, whereas the GNOME bug was caused
by porting to GAction in Nautilus 3.16.)
