What (nautilus|thunar)-actions are interested in most? gcmd integration
is likely to be possible, but it'll require much work :o( Maybe it'll be
easier just to add functionality you are looking for directly into
gcmd...

Not now (see above)

This is by design. VTE was dropped somewhere about 0.9.6 version. If you
need terminal just run your command from cmdline with SHIFT+ENTER

Do you mean CTRL+L? You can do this simply typing cd your-path
If you mean autocompletion feature - I do agree whole-heartily... But in
this case IMHO it'll be better to have tree-view functionality (ALT-F10
in Total Commander)

With commandline you can quckly go to the file using either CTRL+ALT
+letter(s) or ALT+letter(s) (configurable in Options dlg)

Confirmed, I'll try t fix it.
