If mc is executed in gnome-terminal, the mouse actions have an incorrect behavior. For example, when I left double click on a folder the name of the folder is selected, instead to enter that folder; when I right click in mc on a folder, the context menu from gnome-terminal appears,instead for that folder to be selected. If mc is executed in another terminal like xterm or rxvt, the mouse actions have the correct behavior.

try running "TERM=xterm mc" and see if the problems are still here.
With tyhe TERM environment set to xterm it works ok. Thanks.
Gnome herd has a fix pending, should be comitted soon
>=x11-libs/vte-0.13.0 has the aforementioned fix included. Also adding the upstream bug to URL field.
In gnome-terminal-2.16.1 we don't set the default TERM to gnome, but leave it be as xterm. With that mc works again. Oh and my comment #4 seems to be about a completely different issue than reported here. Marking as fixed
