mc - B/W in su - environment using gnome-terminal - Error mesage

[Jim Cornette]

I noticed that running mc in a root terminal su- not su without the -
causes mc to be displayed in b/w. I don't see this behavior in a regular
user either.

Running mc in a normal screen shell is displayed in color.

I believe mutt and other programs do the same thing.

running setup displays in color.

Is anyone else seeing something like this?

I guess no one is having the b/w problem with mc and mutt through 
gnome-terminal after su - to root then starting mc.

Additionally, I get this output within the gnome-terminal.

# mc
subshell.c: couldn't open master side of pty
pty_open_master: No such file or directory


Oh well! Is this a bug more apt to be related to mc and mutt, 
gnome-terminal or some type of lone configuration on my end. I did not 
puroposefully change any of the default configuration files.


Thanks!

Jim
