Ubuntu – Command to launch the ALT+F2 window

gnome-panel

I removed all of my gnome-panel's in favor of the Avant Window Manager for a number of reasons, and would really like to not have to have a gnome-panel still just being hidden.

Is there a command to launch the Alt+F2 window without having a gnome-panel active? I'd like to add an icon to my dock that launches that window, or a window that let's me run a command like that one.

No, the Alt+F2 window is a dialog within gnome-panel, so you can't really launch it standalone.

I highly suggest using gnome-do instead though.

sudo apt-get install gnome-do
