When X breaks, use bash.  Simple enough.  I think at that point, you're
a bit more worried about fixing X than having a filebrowser that's your
idea of pretty.  Not that bash isn't a dandy file browser already, what
that "ls" command and all.  Honestly, between ls, mv, and cp, is there
really any need at all for any file browser?  I'm getting the impression
from this thread that MC is for command-line users anyway.

I'm sorry, I didn't know Ubuntu was taking away your right to life by
not shipping one specific file browser that you happen to prefer.  I
also wasn't aware that use of a certain filebrowser made you a minority
usually subject to hate-crimes and thus in need of protection.
