/usr/bin/gambas *does not* run gambas programs. It is the development 
environment. The interpreter is /usr/bin/gbx.

This is a KDE problem: setting the executable flags on a file does not 
automatically make Konqueror run it when you click it.

Konqueror tries to guess the type of the file you click from a text file, and 
this text file knows nothing about gambas programs.
