Reporting problems. Reporting problems.
This version of the Midnight Commander comes with two interfaces: a
graphical one for the GNOME desktop (http://www.gnome.org) and a text
mode interface (the same old user interface we have had for a long
time).
Most of the engine is shared between both versions, but they come with
radically different interfaces: the GNOME version is aimed to be a
simple to use tool for novice users.
