In my Gnome, alt+f2 opens the "run application" menu. There's an arrow down thing that has nothing in it, but below it there's a button that says "Run With File" which then pops open a way to browse your system. I have no idea what it means by 'run with file' though. Mine also has a list of known applications that it lets me select from.

I have no idea if I answered your question. But hey, alt+f2 works in Gnome! :D

In my KDE it opens a "Run Command" box. There's a field and you type in the program name ("firefox") and away you go. There's an Options thing - run in a terminal, as a different user, etc etc etc. But none of that really explains how it works.

Cool to know that I'm generally talking about an environment thing then. What do macs do, do you know?

Eeenteresting. I tried it with GIMP on mine and it did the same thing -- just let me launch it.

Let me ask the Mac Guy at work about the Mac things. XD
