Bug Description
If I do, say, Alt+F2 ‘true’, I get “Command not found”. (Similarly for anything else that should be in PATH.)
If I do Alt+F2 ‘/bin/true’, gnome-shell crashes with this error.

JS ERROR: !!! lineNumber = '0'

In current Rawhide (Shell 3.1.3), the alt-f2 run dialog is broken: anything you enter comes up as "command not found".
(Also, I was just testing to see what would happen if I specified an explicit path, and that's fun: I entered '/usr/bin/ gnome-terminal' , and it got stuck with the 'Please enter a command:' dialog displayed and the rest of the interface part-greyed-out...)
