Patch for bug 132388

[Satvik Upadhyaya <satvik students iiit net>]

Hi,

  I've attached a patch for bug #132388 ("Run Application" dialog tries to run directory as command). 
 


Bug Description:


If the user types a directory name into the GNOME Panel's "Run Application"
dialog, the panel simply tries to run the directory as a command in the
user's shell.  This fails, of course, perhaps leaving a message in
".xsession-errors" along the lines of "sh: /var/local: is a directory" or
perhaps "zsh: permission denied: /var/local".

The panel should open up a view of the directory using Nautilus, or perhaps
using whatever gnome-vfs believes is the registered handler for
directories.  Running the directory as a command (and failing silently) is
clearly *not* the right thing to do.

This did behave as expected under the GNOME 2.2.x version of the panel, so
this issue might be considered as a regression.
