Supposedly there’s an application launcher that comes with Xfce, but I’m not sure how to get to it. =/

• Abandoned — 2008-08, the last updated was a while ago, so it looks like this project has been declared “done”.. so it’ll decay.

  • 2001-08-10 – xfrun.c
  • 2006-08-01 – xfrun.c

• blog.xfce.org/archive/xfce-4.4.1/src/libxfce4util-4.4.1.tar.bz2
• blog.xfce.org/archive/xfce-4.4.1/src/libxfce4mcs-4.4.1.tar.bz2 — this refuses to see the previous one

• blog.xfce.org/archive/xfce-4.4.1/src/xfce-utils-4.4.1.tar.bz2

It works when I install the whole shebang.

Nice and simple.

• shouldn’t let me run more than one instance.

  • I could use wmctrl to detect another instance and switch to it and not run the second xfrun.
• should let me type a partial match and press tab to pull down a list of matches to the actual executables. I like gmrun for this.

• Doesn’t highlight the last command, so I have to manually empty it before I can type. Stupid.
