I currently do something similar with Eterm and bash scripts that could be adapted to a generic 'run'.
My scripts pop up an Eterm in the middle of the desktop, asks the user for Alarm clock time settings, resets cron (I use it to start an oggy play of Rammstein at the specified time), then closes itself automatically. It's also keyed into a keyboard shortcut via keybindings.cfg.
You could probably do something similar by asking for a command,
run the command in the background and then have it close itself automatically.
Can pass on a couple of examples if you like.
Cheers, Daniel.

Hi all,
I've been wondering whether there's a "Run" box which exists in
E16. i.e first some kind of shortcut key that you could press which should
pop-out a run box.
Then in this run box, you could type let's say "xine" and Xine would just load.
Closest to it in E is the E-exec epplet, but the E-exec epplet is here permanently. I would like to have something which pops up out of a shortcut key and that is not around in the first place. :-p I know it exists in WMs like windowmaker, GNOME or KDE.
Thanks for any insights provided...
With kind regards,
Didier.
