Re: panel run dialog

[Dave Bordoley <bordoley msu edu>]

Well being the reporter of that bug i'll add some comments as to why
listing all the installed programs is a bad idea.

1. They are unorganized.
2. The applications menu is where programs should be launched from
3. The right click menu of each application in the applications menu
give the user the option to put it in the run dialog.
4. The most important feature of the run dialog is considered advance.
(aka browsing the file system for a binary, or running a command line
program from the dialog in a terminal).

from my perspective if the run dialog is not used in advance mode, it's
pretty much useless.
