New description:

 Basically, all installed config files and directories are created
 rw(x)------ and so you can only save anything about a mc or mcedit
 operation when "sudo mc". The install does set things up in the user
 folder, but the permissions are wrong.

 This is compounded by mc claiming it is saving things in ~/.config/mc,
 when it is actually trying to save to ~/.local/share/mc

 Made it pretty hard to find out WTF was going on.

 Folders should be created with the username with rwx------ or with root
 rwxrwxrwx

 Config files should be created with the username with rw---------- or with
 root rw-rw-rw-
