You have been subscribed to a public bug:
The "Run Application" (Alt-F2) dialog in GNOME does not have proper
support for file name completion.
If you want to run a file in some directory, you enter the directory
name and then you are stuck unless you know the first character of the
file name. Even if there is only one file in the directory, you need to
supply the first character of the file name to proceed.
And if the directory contains more than one file with the same file name
prefix, you need to enter an unique prefix to proceed.
It should be possible to get a list of files matching a given prefix (or
all files in the directory if no prefix is given). It should provide the
same functionality as TAB completion in the shell (but not necessary
using the TAB key).
(Ubuntu 9.10.)
