I cannot say anything about "normal users" but I am expecting (i.e. what I do when I press Alt+F2) to have combination of overview and terminal - something like in Gnome 2, Gnome-do or quicksilver. - I'm expecting to be able to run normal commands like pkill java. it is important if: a) Application does not have .desktop file b) If it receive arguments not specified in .desktop file - I'm expecting to be able to type description of program and get more or less auto-completed even if it does not match the exact command - I'd like to be able to search for recent documents. I always think that overview mode is distracting. - I'd like to be able to do more advanced stuff like in quicksilver or gnome-do. Say find a document I was recently working on (say odf or LaTeX document) and do some work on it (say convert it to pdf and attach to current e-mail).
