IMHO, Run Command dialog should be available from Applications menu
from main panel, period. It was confusing when it was removed (I had
to search for shortcut) and I would prefer it back (and I am GNOME
user for 7 years, haven't touched Windows for very long time). Also,
this dialog could benefit
No, but I can tell you first hand that it's extremely annoying to have
