Comment 31 for bug 580295

FWIW, from my perspective the "run in terminal" option is NOT a must-have. I use the traditional alt-f2 constantly, and I have for years. And in all that time I think I opted to run something in the terminal once. If something must be run in the terminal, which I do quite often, I typically use alt-f2 to launch gnome-terminal or xterm if I don't have a terminal already running.

Thus if the choices are create a special Unity clone of the traditional run app dialog or just bind alt-f2 to something you already have which already provides the desired functionality, my vote as a user would be just bind the thing so we can use it.

As a related aside, whatever it's bound to should be evaluated for accessibility. (Thanks in advance!)
