I did some further testing, with the result that Alt+F2 works _sometimes_, but not always.

For example, when I boot into daily live images 20110803.1 (both amd64 and i386), Alt+F2 does nothing, no matter how often I press the combination.
It also didn't work on my fresh installation yesterday.
But when I booted again tommorow into the same fresh installation, suddenly Alt+F2 worked! I thought it could be related to installing the propritary Nvidia driver. But it continued working when I removed the Nvidia driver (yes, all tests were done under Unity 2D. Never seen the problem with the Compiz-based Unity so far.).

So the next step would be to find out what stops Alt+F2 from working sometimes, but I honestly have no clue how to find out. But I would gladly do further testing if somebody has an idea.

Kind regards,
Jan
