I strongly recommend against GNOME-MUD unless you really basically want
to use telnet with some world database attached.  It is such a
functionality-free client that it's truly amazing.  (First missing
piece?  Word-wrapping....)

For GUI clients the two I've had some luck with (not ideal clients, but
OK) are GnoeMoe and KildClient.  By "some luck with" I mean "don't crash
for no apparent reason leaving nothing behind, even if logging is turned
on".  (This is why Papaya, if I remember the name correctly, and
MudMagic got turfed.)  Unfortunately you'll have to build both of these
yourself.
