As a user of anjunta2 I would like to see a run dialog that gives a drop
down list of all the executable targets in the project along with a text
entry for adding parameters that are associated with the executable so
that it would not have to be retyped.  A checkbox could be added to
indicate the project must be installed before being executed. There
should also be a menu item along with a hot key for re-executing the 
last selected item in the run dialog.  This would be similar to how
"find next..." works.  Also in the project tree view a context menu to
run an executable when the target is selected would be nice.  Just my 2
cents.  Feel free to ignore me.
