It is not necessary for this to work.

These settings doesn't help to solve this problem.

I tried out to use Midnight Commander with my emacs settings for
emacsclient and it just works. So when I want to edit a text file within

and in Emacs I get the opened biffer with this file.

So this isn't work with ProjectCenter. Why?
