Nope. Doesn't work here (on Dapper) two windows pop up but mc never runs. Weird. Tried ticking the run in terminal box, using gnome-terminal and my normal shell rxvt-unicode.

Try entering this as a command in your launcher creation dialogue:
sudo mc
... and tick the "Run in terminal" box. Works here on Breezy in Gnome...
of course you get gnome-terminal, but the terminal doesn't disappear in a
puff of smoke.
*cough* you _do_ have mc installed , right? ( Don't laugh ;-) - I tried it
the first time without realising that my laptop did not yet have mc
installed... By the way, if you don't want mc-edit as your default editor
you'll probably need to run
sudo update-alternatives --config editor
