Description-en: GTK+ based Run dialog
gRun is a GTK+ based Run dialog that closely resembles
the Windows Run dialog, just like xexec. It has a
intelligent history mechanism and a dual level fork()
mechanism for launching the application in its own
process. gRun also has support for launching console
mode application in an XTerm as well as associations
for file types.
.
gRun is much more powerful than xexec, looks a lot
better, and has the big advantage that you can start
typing a command without having to mouse-click into
the text field.
.
gRun is especially useful if you do not use the
GNOME desktop which has a built-in run command, and
if you use a window-manager (e.g. IceWM) where you can
define a keyboard shortcut (e.g. Alt-F2) for staring
gRun.
