Yep, I'd love to find out where they are stealing the F10 key to bring up 
the xfce terminal emulators file requester, preventing the F10 key from 
being the exit key for MC. So you have to close the requester that pops 
up, then grab the mouse and find its exit button at the bottom of its 
screen, and then answer an "are you sure" popup.  Make a minimum of 4 
mouse clicks to quit it.

Sure, you can cancel that in the individual terminals prefs, but I'd like 
to cancel it globally because its best described as a PIMA.

Thanks for reading my rant(s).

Cheers, Gene Heskett
