[http://developer.imendio.com/wiki/GNOME_Launch_Box Gnome Launch Box] is a an application launcher. It's very influenced by Quicksilver for Mac OSX.
Launch Box is the result of a Hackathon at Imendio during the weekend of 8th-10th of January. Therefore it's buggy but very eyecandy!

sudo apt-get install gnome-launch-box

Open the Configuration Editor under Applications > System Tools.
Go to /apps/metacity/global_keybindings.
Change the value of a run_command to a key combination.
Go to /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands.
Change the value of command_X (the one you haven choosen before) to gnome-launch-box.

You can start it up with the defined keyboard shortcut, or by pressing Alt+F2 and typing gnome-launch-box
- You are not supposed to click on anything.
- Just type and it will automatically search through your evolution contacts, programs and firefox bookmarks.
