(Get the code!)
This may be reminiscent of the old "Netbook Edition" of ubuntu, nevertheless it is very obtrusive and does not allow one to continue to use ubuntu whilst, for example, launching an application that runs in the background.
A possible usercase is:
Alex is watching a film, and wishes to start an IM program at the same time.
Alex presses Alt+F2 to type the name of this program, but the whole screen fills with black, which prevents Alex from watching the film.
An easy fix would be to make this "launcher" around one quarter (or smaller when unexpanded) of the size of a netbook screen and possibly more transparent to make it as unobtrusive as possible.
