Description of problem: When I click key on some file such as *.doc in the mc under X11 terminal the application is functionaling in background until mc did not closed. In other words, oowriter started by following command line oowriter %f & However, '> /dev/null 2>&1' should like to be substituted before '&'. When I close mc I should not like to close background apps, such as oowriter or smth else. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mc from last FC3/4 updates. I think it may be implemented as patch to mc.ext file.

Yes, I agree that '>/dev/null 2>&1' should be added to the mc.ext file in order to not to mess up the mc where an application from background is launched from. However, I don't see that if I launch, say oowriter, in background that it terminates when I quit mc it was launched from.
I've added a few redirections to /dev/null in mc.ext. Since I cannot reproduce your bug, I'm closing it NOTABUG. Feel free to reopen it with proper reproduction case if you think you see a bug.
While now I also can not reproduce it. Ok. I agree with NOTABUG resolution. P.S. If I discover the reproducable case of such behaviour I reopen this report.
