Okay, Given that, and Reinouts comment, what about "Monocle Commander",
it has that nice old-fashioned military habit of having a monocle, and
is titled the same as the mini-commander in gnome-applets, and remember
that it's like a command-line tool.
There were voices against monocle because it sounds like a mono app. I
like it, and other seems to like it too, and with the Monocle Commander
it makes a nice combo.
