Package: gnome-panel
Version: 2.24.3-1+b1
Severity: important
I use the "Run Application" dialog a LOT..
When I quickly want to invoke an application, I'll press Win+R (Yes, I mapped it
to the same as windows) and then I'd type whatever command I wanted to launch..
Ie. Win+R xcalc ENTER
Win+R oocalc ENTER
Win+R sylpheed ENTER
This let me launch stuff without having a terminal window open all the time
... and the completion was really really handy too
Ie. Win+R x-term ARROW ENTER (would auto complete x-terminal-emulator)
Now when I press Win+R, up pops the dialog, but it expects me to either pick
from a list OR click browse and enter a full path.
This is a significant decrease in functionality for power users - is this part
of the continuing trend in Gnome to "weld on the training wheels"?
Is there a way of getting back the old style of run dialog?
Perhaps a gconf setting?
Incidentally, the online help seems to reflect the old dialog I liked..
