There is no version 4.55.5.  If you mean version 4.5.55, it has GNOME 
support.  Please show me the document that says otherwise.

GNOME 1.2 and GNOME 1.4 should be fine.  Not sure about the forthcoming
GNOME 2.0.  Try and report the problems!

Go to freshmet.net and look for GNOME file managers:

http://freshmeat.net/search/?q=GNOME+File+manager&section=projects

How about "File Manager", Sarah, hfm, "Endeavour Mark II" and whatever
else you can find there?  Many of those file managers have been designed
for GNOME, unlike MC, which was hacked for GNOME.

I haven't tried them.  Try them all or wait for somebody else to reply.
