Bug Description
I'm only very occasionally able to launch programs from the alt-f2 popup.
It seems like maybe once upon first login I get the login that looks just like it does under unity (3d) but the majority of the time i get a window like shown in the screenshot. I can't launch programs from it.

I've seen this too, I've noticed if I first click on the empty background (in the area where the icons show up after a successful search) and type in the program I want to open it's not displayed.
If I click on one of the bottom icons, then I can select the program I want to open as it will display the icon of the program I want to open, but only if I select the correct filter. On the next search (after pressing escape and alt-f2 again) my typed in program will show up without clicking on one of the icons at the bottom.
