Thanks but it doesn’t work in Ubuntu. Ubuntu suggests to install the Openbox window manager. So I imagine that this command is for Openbox, not for GNOME.
By the way, I would like to post this minitutorial about the Run dialog of GNOME. I find it interesting:
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Useful commands or shortcuts for GNOME’s Alt+F2 dialog (Run Application)
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
When, while holding the Alt key, we press the F2 key the “Run Application” dialog of GNOME appears.
There we can type the name of an application and then press the Enter or Return key (or click on the Run button) so the desired application opens. For example if we enter gedit the gedit text editor opens.
We can also type the address of a folder so Nautilus opens in that place. For example if we enter /tmp Nautilus opens in this directory.
This dialog helps us entering the data. For example if we type gca automatically gcalctool is offered.
This dialog can run any of the many applications inside /usr/bin .
====================================================
Here is a list of the ones I use more often:
gedit : gedit (text editor)
gnome-control-center : GNOME Control Center (control panel)
gnome-terminal : GNOME Terminal (terminal emulator)
xset dpms force off : switches the screen off (useful for laptops)
====================================================
Other ones:
eog : Eye of GNOME (image viewer) (not necessary because it opens when we click on an image showing that image -if it’s the default application for the image format-)
file-roller : File Roller (archive manager) (not necessary because it opens when we click on a compressed file we want to decompress; and there is a Compress… entry on the menu when we right click after having selected one or more files we want to compress)
gcalctool : gcalctool (calculator)
gconf-editor : Configuration Editor (user preferences and system configuration data editor for the GNOME Desktop and many applications)
gnome-search-tool : Search for Files (file searcher)
gnome-session-save –logout-dialog : “Log Out of the Session” dialog (to finish or close the session; or to switch or change the user)
gnome-session-save –shutdown-dialog : “Shut Down the Computer” dialog (to turn the computer off, reboot it, suspend it or hibernate it)
totem : Totem (movie player; also plays audios) (not necessary because it opens when we click on a film or a song)
xcalc : xcalc (calculator)
xterm : xterm (terminal emulator) (gnome-terminal’s scroll is easier to manage and allows to copy and paste)
It’s true, it seems that
gnome-panel-controlis bundled with openbox package! However, it does work in Gnome desktop environment perfectly! And since openbox is a very light package, I don’t think anyone would mind installing it!Also, thanks for the little tutorial; Never knew that it’s okay to enter location as is!! Though that might change with Gnome Shell! However, apps would work just fine!
