 I think this is a tricky one. For the moment I don't have a KDE 4 anymore, 
but in Konqueror from KDE 3 I like having files opened instead of executed. 
There's more to it than my liking of having scripts opened and not executed:
1. executables are run in the home directory (with Konqueror 3.5.5 at least), 
they should run in their directory
2. usualy those files don't have a GUI, and when I click something I would 
expect some visual thing to ask me for a command. I have a few .sh files I 
use for (re)starting services, and the action will happen for the ones that 
don't need root privileges. But I have no visual feedback, maybe I clicked a 
script that restarts my computer in 5 minute and I have no idea.

I don't know which is the more desirable behaviour though.
