Comment:
Thanks for your bug. We did keep shipping mini-commander for some time but got complain from upstream which really recommends to switch to deskbar applet. 

As you pointed auto-completion works. For the things it doesn't need to do, you can select to the properties what you want to do. The memory footprint is a bit bigger but nowhere from beeing "huge", there is some discussions on the GNOME desktop list about that, feel free to read them, we don't intend to rediscuss that here. 

Some reasonnable extra memory usage is not enough to go against upstream decision to ship an unmaintained piece of software. deskbar-applet is much nicer, maintained, recommanded by upstream we will keep shipping it by default, I reject that feature request. Feel free to fork the mini-commander code and do an universe package if you think that's worth it though
