The name sounds familiar, so I'm pretty sure that one of the following two cases occurred:
1. I might have missed the tiny little "Wiki" link on the Launchpad page (it amazes me that something roughly a decade younger than SourceForge can have such an infinitely worse UI) and concluded it was too heavy simply based on it being a semantic launcher. 2. If I did find the Wiki link, I would have concluded that, even if it does offer a theme which looks decent without compositing (something I'm only guessing must exist), it's still heavier than I intended... especially given that I don't WANT a semantic launcher. I want a Run dialog with history, autocomplete, mimetype association handling, resolution of ~, and support for feeding script snippets to bash. Anything heavier would just be more trouble for me while I work to preserve my desktop's ability to comfortably run on my backup PC (a 2GHz Celeron with 1GiB of RAM and a GeForce FX5200). (I already had to make exceptions for Firefox and Thunderbird while I search for ways to slim down my Firefox extension load-out and comfortably replace Thunderbird) On 12-01-31 05:02 PM, Julien Lavergne wrote: > Le 01/29/2012 04:43 PM, Stephan Sokolow a écrit : >> On my LXDE desktop, I use gmrun because I want command history and >> autocompletion.
