2011-11-04 22:39:38 Derek White description Title says it all. Alt-F2 sudo apt-get update And, nothing happens. This is quite annoying. It is "Run a command" not a "Run a GUI application". There should at the least be a "run in a terminal" option as before. Also, the Filter still shows up on this...Why? It does nothing, except waste a third of the dialog's horizontal pixels when opened - there are no filters. Title says it all. Alt-F2 sudo apt-get update And, nothing happens. This is quite annoying. It is "Run a command" not "Run a GUI application". If it doesn't open a terminal "auto-magically", there should at the least be a "run in a terminal" option as before. Also, the Filter still shows up on this...Why? It does nothing, except waste a third of the dialog's horizontal pixels when opened - there are no filters.

It is "Run a command" not "Run a GUI application". Desired solution: having a checkbox "run in a terminal" in an alt + F2 view. This checkbox will spawn the default application terminal and run the command there. The fallback can be as well, for every command we don't find a desktop file for it, run in a terminal by default.
