I don't have the original message here, but I assume this is discussing
the "list of all available programs" in the run dialogue. I would prefer
to see this feature nixed. I agree with Jeff that you're usually using
this dialogue because you want to type in a command that's not available
in the menus. If something is in the menus, its easier to use the menus,
even if you don't know which category its in (probably).
