It appears to me missing. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.13.5-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install rawhide 2. Click the menu "Applications" 3. Be surprised "Run Application" has vanished Additional info:
IIRC there was some discussion about that after GNOME 2.12 release. Basically, Alt + F2 does what you want.
Hi Richard, Frank is right, this was intentionally removed. Bryan Clark instigated the change. To quote, "However it is ugly. Really ugly. It's not just a wart, but a wart on the tip of our nose the size of our eye." See, http://mail.gnome.org/archives/release-team/2005-February/msg00078.html and gnome bug #167090 for details.
Thanks Ray, although I say I don't agree with that decision. The user (like me, hardly a newbie!) has to find out from google that [Alt + F2] works as required, and remember it. Should this be in the release notes or something?
Hi Richard, The change is one of the controversial sort, I think. It's definitely not something we'd diverge from upstream on though. It's probably not worth adding to the release notes.
