1656	Incorrect processing of cases the lack of rights (~/.mc/*) to save preferences	alex_zol	slavazanko	"In the case where insufficient rights to the contents of the directory ~/.mc/* to save preferences I get ""settings saved in ~ /.mc/ini"", but really nothing is saved.

It would be correct to issue a message like ""Not enough permissions to save the ~/.mc/ini""

Also, when autosave should be issued a message about the lack of rights.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Accidentally situation is the lack of rights can occur when you first start mc under sudo.
The files in ~/.mc/* created with owner root (but not in the home directory of root, and in the home directory of a user caused sudo).

For example:
sudo apt-get install mc
sudo -s
mc
save settings and exit from mc

alex@alex-laptop:~/.mc$ ls -l ~/.mc
