Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: unity
To reproduce.
1. Use ALT+F2 to bring up the Run command launcher thing in Unity.
2. Type a command you know will not execute, e.g. "poqiwuproiuqwpoeriuqwer", or
"gwibberr".
3. Observe that nothing happens.
There should be a warning that the command could not be executed, and
the typed command should be quoted to let the user examine the typed
command to be able to determine the error. This does two things:
1. If the command was typed correctly, the user might realize the command needs
to be installed if it isn't already.
2. If the command was typed incorrectly, it needs to be typed correctly. :P
This business of not saying *anything* makes for a very bad user
experience.
