MC Not Opening HTML Files

Hi,

In RH7.3 for quite some time suddenly mc, my main file manager, would not open html files any longer within xterm, however, still from the console. Now I discovered that if I change in ~/.mc/bindings the line "Open=if [ x$DISPLAY = x ];" to "Open=if [ x$DISPLAY = x:0.0 ];" all works well again.

I have never looked at this file since RH5.2 and mc always opened html files. What could have caused such a change that now apparently DISPLAY has a different setting? It could be that this change coincided with an upgrade of 7.3 I had made, which incidentally had a faulty entry in /etc/sysconfig/syslog causing logrotate to abort, yet I am not so sure about it.

Have others had similar experiences?

Regards
