Hmm, yeah, that's true, you need to define keyboard shortcuts to make is
work nicely.

For anyone who doesn't know, you can make a  ~/.gtkrc-2.0 with this line

gtk-can-change-accels = 1

and then you can change keyboard shortcuts in menus, by typing them
while highlighting the menu item.

I have bound ? to select if, / to path entry and . to run a shell
command.

So, I just removed some emacs autosaves: 

? -> '#*' <Enter> -> . -> rm "$@"

PS
xterm -e mc works fine too, of course ;-)
