Hi,
when im running mc like root ( sudo mc ) and exit, setting is saved with root:root privileges. Next run when im running it like normal user, mc isnt able to save setting because isnt allowed to write into ~/.mc/ini

ps at T61:~$ sudo ls -lsa ~/ | egrep ".mc"
ls: cannot access /home/ps/.gvfs: Permission denied
