The alt+f2 dialog in GNOME is created by gnome-panel; it is not a separate process. (Typing 'xprop', or preferably 'xprop | grep -v _NET_WM_ICON' is a good way to learn about random apps and can provide information like this) I'd suggest checking to see if any such bugs are filed against gnome-panel, and if not, then file these feature requests there.
