I am using the Gnome 3 "classic" desktop. When I push the mouser pointer up into the hot-spot in the upper left corner of the screen, a (sort of) oval pops up containing a magnifying glass icon and the words "Type to search . . . ". If I type in "gufw", it just bluntly says "No results.".
But if I do ALT-F2, a window pops up saying "Enter a command". If I type in "gufw" there, Gufw starts up, and seems to work. So, yes - it does start that way. Now, as to: "What's wrong with just using a launcher anyway, if it comes up that way?", maybe I am just autistic. It just bothers me when things don't work CORRECTLY. I guess it just goes to show that for a lot of developers, it is more fun to devise new "features" that "sort of" work than to fix errors and deficiencies. Sigh.
