You seemed to imply there is something broken or buggy about using MC in Konsole. Xterms here have title bars. Menu bars don't bother me. I use them. The bottom bar is for the tabs, which can be moved to the top.
Nothing buggy nor broken, just inconvenient. I wasn't thinking mostly of konsole, as I use gnome preferably. In the gnome terminal, it has happened to me that some function keys are intercepted by the terminal instead of doing whatever mc function I wanted to do. I tried konsole years ago and I also had problems.
Plus, the font used with mc is just less readable than xterm's.
Konsole defaults to a dumb font that comes in exactly one size, but lets you pick any font on the system, which I do. OTOH, default Xterm fonts are about 1/4 legible size, maybe about 4pt here, _totally_ unreadable without sticking my nose up against the display.
Doesn't happen to me here, xterm choice of fonts are very readable.
When I use dozens of xterms with mc inside, a dozen of konsoles are a nuisance compared to a dozen of xterms.
I usually have no more than a dozen open at once, in no more than about 2 windows, since Konsole has tabs, like all modern web browsers.
I like to see them all at a glance. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 11.2 x86_64 "Emerald" at Telcontar)
