Hi,
In an xterm, i could press alt-o to get both panels the same.

Now after a few X windows upgrades, alt-o gives an "I" with
two dots above it (0xEF, LATIN SMALL LETTER I WITH DIAERESIS)
UTF-8 locale i guess. On the linux console it gives ESC-o (0x1b6f)

How can i get mc to work in a utf-8 X setup?

man xterm (see eightBitInput, metaSendsEscape, altSendsEscape)

Specifically, it is altSendsEscape that needs to be set. This can be done most easily by creating a file in your home directory which is called

..Xdefaults

and in it you put the contents

XTerm*metaSendsEscape:  true

one of those (altSendsEscape or metaSendsEscape), depending on how your
keyboard and xmodmap are setup.
