[openbox] idesk

[John Eikenberry]

Another option for app launching is something like gmrun. I use it to
launch a limited set of apps that I just added by entering the programs
into its history file.  Very handy for a few apps you launch fairly often.

gmrun has packages in most dists... or get it from its home page.
