Bug Description
When you press Alt-F2 in the classic Ubuntu desktop, you can type 'apt:packagename
This no longer happens in Unity's Alt-F2 function. I'd rather like this functionality back, to speed up package installs. Now that I try, the Alt-F2 in Unity doesn't open ANY sort of URLs. But I really just want apturls to work again inside the Alt-F2 thingy.
Running latest Natty on AMD64, with Unity 3D.

Doesn't need design discussion, this is the intended behavior from any run dialog box.

I committed Bilal's branch and added the more generic ability to open any kind of URL from the alt-f2 dialog

This probably needs a confirmation from the Design team as well.
