Here comes the fix - please do test. The patch removes gcmd-block
completely and switches (back ;o) the terminal usage from gnome-terminal
to 'xterm -hold -e %s' (see Options|Programs) - you may want to manually
edit ~/.gnome2/gnome-commander cfg file to change/remove the line
starting with 'term='. The change applies only to commands started with
SHIFT+ENTER.


Enjoy,
Piotr
