Hmm, I've never gotten mc to run in an xterm (it'll run fine from
the console, though). The directory panels are the strangest form
of Egyptian hieroglyphics I've ever seen. The function key
labels and the menu bar line come out in English and after the
curser passes a line in the dir panel, it temporarily changes to
English.

I sometimes use TKDesk which I like a lot. I briefly toyed with
an early beta of QT Linux Explorer which s*cked. I still do most
of my file management from the shell. (bash rules:-)
