Comment (by mkae):

 (Ooops, I though I had submitted this comment earlier, but it was still
 dangling in the comment editor unsent:)

 OK, you ran {{{mc}}} as root in your user's home dir which left {{{mc}}}
 thinking that it should place its files in the user's home dir. So the
 root shell wasn't a login shell then...
