Well, the title says it all. None of my scripts are working. Sometimes I get as far as entering my password but that’s it.

The title doesn’t say that much. Errors when you try? Script contents?
Did they ever work? Do they work on other systems? Do they work as
other users? Do they run when executed from the command line? What
language are they written in? Which version of (presumably) opensuse
are you using and on which architecture? Are the scripts in a ‘noexec’
partition? Are they marked executable? Do they have the proper shebang
line at the top (e.g. #!/bin/bash)?
Good luck.

My scripts are from gscripts: Nautilus File Manager Scripts: Welcome to G-Scriptsand gnome-look.org. And yes they all have worked on other platforms.
I am attempting to use them on OpenSuse 11.1 Gnome version. All of the scripts are executable.
There are no errors that I have been able to find. After entering my password the box disappears and thats it.

Looks like they just may have outdated instructions. Maybe try
extracting them to ~/.gnome2 instead of ~/.gnome to see if that helps.
Good luck.

They are in .gnome2. Many are from Eyecandy for your GNOME-Desktop - GNOME-Look.organd since I keep an eye out for new and updated ones I would think they would be outdated would they?
I’m not very adept at this, but I was just wondering if there would be a better chance of these working if they were converted to python as opposed to bash. Maybe one of you who does a little scripting would know.

I would suspect you would have, at best, an equal chance since Linux is
typically good about just running scripts that are setup properly. Run
one of these from the command line to ensure it works. If it does then
try Alt+F2 and see if you can get something there that way (you
mentioned something about a password, but no details about how you
managed to get there). Please be specific in all that you do. So far
these scripts, when in my directory properly, seem to run just fine.
Good luck.

When I use the scripts I right-click, scroll to the script I want and select it. Since I mostly use those giving me root, a box opens up requesting my password. I enter my password and hit okay or authenticate, whichever. Then nothing happens.
I’m not too bothered by the multimedia scripts as I can still do the same things from the terminal.
The root scripts are important to me as I bounce back and forth in files and I like to easily drag and drop files. These really help when you are doing things in several places at the same time.
Having said all of that I did try running several in the terminal but the result was exactly the same as right-clicking my mouse. Box pops up asking for a password, I enter it and nothing. Also tried Alt+F2 and didn’t get anywhere with that either.
Picture of me scratching my head.
I’m kinda thinking that the problem might be: no “gksu”. I searched the repositories and couldn’t find it. The reason I’ve reached this conclusion is because the non-root scripts do work I just hadn’t checked those prior to this. I looked at one of my scripts and it used “gksu”. I downloaded a “gksu-2.0.0tar.gz” file but I don’t know if that’s the right one or not. I also may look for a rpm. If you know something here that I might need to know, please tell me.
From what I gathered in researching this is that, this pkg was in previous repositories, but now it’s not.??? Correct me if I’m wrong about this. I even installed the gnome repositories with no luck.
After numerous mis-steps and restarts I finally got this going. Running “su” in the terminal just wouldn’t work and since I’ve really been sick while trying to all of this. My mind was functioning properly so I decided to upgrade applications for a while. I noticed that one of them was “libgnomesu”, so after installing it I went back to the terminal and ran "gnomesu, then “nautilus” and that gave me root.
I still get an error:

I’ll get this figured out in a little bit. At least I can get root when and where I want. When I get to feeling better I’ll redo my nautilus scripts so that they point in the right direction.
Thanks to all who helped, I really appreciate it.
P.S. I was kinda confused over gconfig when I visited the URL’s from the previous error messages. How do I mark this as solved?
