Great tip! I knew it was what I had been looking for! Anytime I am in KDE (like at work) and I do the Alt-F2 thing, I wish my favorite WM would do the same. This does that and much more. <br><br>Thanks a bunch!<br><br>

Another option for app launching is something like gmrun. I use it to<br>launch a limited set of apps that I just added by entering the programs<br>into its history file. Very handy for a few apps you launch fairly often.
<br><br>gmrun has packages in most dists... or get it from its home page.<br><br><a href="http://www.bazon.net/mishoo/gmrun.epl">http://www.bazon.net/mishoo/gmrun.epl</a><br><br>Manuel Colmenero wrote:<br><br>> On Fri, 26 May 2006 14:13:19 -0400

<br>><br>> Try runnig "nautilus -n", or "rox -p default" when you run openbox. I'd recommed Rox because it's less resource-hungry. Konqueror can also manage your desktop, if you're more of a QT/KDE guy.
