It's behaviour surely increases my productivity. It works thus: * It only auto-completes program names that have been run with it before: - reduces noise and resource usage * It won't keep auto-complete those that refused to run: - also eliminates history clutter from junk input * On start-up, it displays the most recent program that was run. anyone out there? ___ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list

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.
