At least for me it works ... sometimes. And sometime gcmd crashes here,
too. :/ I set it up to work with gmx webdav. 

Strangely, I could not reproduce the crash right now after several
trials.

Is gnome-commander crashing imidiately after you try to connect, or does
it take some seconds? I'm asking this because I have to wait routhly 20
seconds until gcmd asks for a password of my webdav acount(*). In the
meantime, on the debug output a warning occurs:

[MM] Opening connection
[MM] Opening remote connection
[MM] Connecting to davs://address@hidden/
Gkr-Message: secret service operation failed: Did not receive a reply.
Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply,
the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout
expired, or the network connection was broken.

But when, I'm asked for the password and the connection is opened:

[MM] State was OPENING, setting flags
[MM] GnomeCmdCon::OPEN_OK detected

IIRC, you are using a simple desktop sollution, right? No Gnome, KDE or
xfce... Maybe, that's why we get different error/warning messages
because this might to be a graphics-related issue.

(*) Which is really strange. It might be related to the old gnome-vfs
libraries, used by gcmd. Every other file-manager I tried connects much
faster to webdav...
