Konsole is started as normal user. In it is invoked the
midnight-commander. Keyboard-navigation and -keypresses are flawlessly
executed. The mouse-cursor moves if desired all over the screen.
Clicking *outside* the console starts the envisaged action on other
files, but *inside* the mc-konsole nothing happens at all when clicking.
gpm, konsole and mc all 3 are [ root:root 100755 ].
When I however start the console, then su to root and invoke mc
everything works properly!
Where else should/could I look for the apparently missing
user-permissions? Thanks.

This has all the clues of needing to:
cd to /home
sudo chown -R your-user-name:your-user-name your-user-name
Apparently something that resets things to be owned by root as been done
in your /home/your-user-name directory tree. You should own EVERYTHING
in your home directory. Running as root in your home directory is a bad
idea...
And as a bit of old school myself, I'm glad to see another mc user, its
the best swiss army knife ever.
Cheers, Gene Heskett

Dear Gene Heskett,

Thanks, but this didn't change anything at all.
You should own EVERYTHING in your home directory.
I did and do.
Running as root in your home directory is a bad
idea...
I "su" in a konsole to 'root' whenever a program asks for
root-privileges (mc, aptitude, backintime to name only 3 of the most
important ones) and according to the prompt then, I am in the
root-directory not my home anymore.
But I solved the problem in the meantime and it cost me a lot of sweat
ans swearing.
Some idiotic programmer has had the splendid idea to add in my
~/username/.config/mc/mc.ini Following:
[terminal:xterm]
# escape=h"
# f1=\\e[M i*\\e[M#i*
# backtab=\\e[Z
# kpslash=Y0\\e[M#Y0
wihout the leading #. And only there, nowhere else! That moron.
Thanks for your effort and kind regards.
