(I copied it from kterm.sh script)

then try this:

#!/bin/sh

EXPORT LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/us/local/lib

EXTENSION=/mnt/us/extensions/kterm


WIDTH=`xwininfo -root|grep Width|cut -d ':' -f 2`
# use wider keyboard layout for screen width greater than 600 px
if [ ${WIDTH} -gt 600 ]; then
  PARAM="-l ${EXTENSION}/layouts/keyboard-wide.xml -e /mnt/us/local/mc/bin/mc"
else
  PARAM="-e /mnt/us/local/mc/bin/mc"
fi

${EXTENSION}/bin/kterm ${PARAM}

# when started from launcher kterm doesn't kill keyboard (why?) so:
killall matchbox-keyboard

Tried it. Kterm doesn't start at all. Returns to KUAL.

if you launch from kterm:

/mnt/us/local/mc/bin/mc

mc is loaded?

mc runs ONLY if I type:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

first, followed by:

/mnt/us/local/mc/bin/mc

Note that typing:

EXPORT LD_LIBRARY_PATH

produces an error:

EXPORT: not found

So I changed EXPORT to export in the script too. Still doesn't work.

Next, since I'm doing this on a KT3, I don't need the bigger keyboard images, so I deleted:
/mnt/us/extensions/kterm/layouts/img-wide folder and /mnt/us/extensions/kterm/layouts/keyboard-wide.xml.
And shortened /mnt/us/extensions/kterm/bin/kterm.sh to:

#!/bin/sh

/mnt/us/extensions/kterm/bin/kterm

# when started from launcher kterm doesn't kill keyboard (why?) so:
killall matchbox-keyboard

Now kterm still works.

Next I shortened /mnt/us/extensions/mc/bin/mc.sh to:

#!/bin/sh

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/mnt/us/local/lib

/mnt/us/extensions/kterm -e /mnt/us/local/mc/bin/mc

# when started from launcher kterm doesn't kill keyboard (why?) so:
killall matchbox-keyboard

Still mc from KUAL menu doesn't work..
