Seems to work fine so far, although it adds a noticable 5 second delay
when starting mc, mc -v, or mcedit from the command line and/or as an
external editor/viewer from Mutt/Slrn, both locally and remote. There
is no such delay when invoking mcedit and mc -v by pressing F3/F4 from
within mc, neither locally nor remote.

Tested on Slackware 8.1, XFree86 4.2.0, Xterm version "XFree86 4.2.0(165)".

HTH,
Thomas
