I'll cheerfully accept any patches to modify this behaviour (I
maintain xexec and it annoys me as well), but don't have time to hack
into it myself.

The upstream authors removed the gnome-run binary (and source)
from their distribution when they integrated it into panel. Bloody
annoying of them, IMNSHO. I had a wishlist bug open requesting that
the Debian maintainer go back and patch it back in from earlier
sources, but he wasn't willing to do it. I keep meaning to do it
myself, one of these days, but feel free to beat me to it.
Also, please put quoted text at the top of the message, not the
bottom (I've corrected this mail). Bottomquoting makes it very
difficult to follow the thread of conversation.

You also might be on the wrong mailing list...
