In fact, I already had that in my configuration, but it was not shipped
as part of the applet. My trick for that is using "gnome-panel-control
--run-dialog", where "gnome-panel-control" is a tiny teeny utility
shipped (unfortunately) as part of openbox. I had the obvious keybinding
in my ~/.config/awesome/rc.lua.

As most applet users will probably want something similar, I've now
moved it into gnome-applet.lua, so you can now just add the following to
your configuration file:

    awful.key({ modkey,           }, "x",     gnome_lua_prompt)

It's committed in Git.

The dependency on openbox is relaxable, by invoking the corresponding X
mechanism to request the panel to pop-up a run dialog (sorry for the
misnomer here, but I don't know the X communication technology used for
that), which is actually what gnome-panel-control does. I'll get to that
eventually; in the meantime you'll need to install openbox to get the
command-line utility.

I've no idea how to do that yet.
Investigations and pointers are welcome.


Cheers.
