That's not a window manager feature. I'm actually using gnome-do with
WM, and it works just like with gnome, so if you like, you might
do that, too. However I feel that it still works considerably
worse than Spotlight on OSX. Improving it or writing something
better would be nice, but that's beyond our scope here.

I specifically would like it to pull from the menu and it's items.  Not 
index my entire harddrive.  To me, this falls right inline with the menu 
system.  Gnome-do is buggy and uses way to much indexing.  I only want a 
specific set of items that I can set as part of the menu.

But again, that is something rather easy to do. Such an app is a
nice idea but can well be implemented separately. It basically
boils down to parsing the menu file.
