GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 656054
Alt+F2 not working in 3.1.3
Last modified: 2011-12-01 11:31:24 UTC
As reported at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=719675 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/816762 Alt+F2 no longer runs commands. The special developer commands (r and lg) still work but trying to run any other program returns "command not found."
Can't reproduce it here, with jhbuilt gnome-shell master.
I retested on Fedora 16 and Alt+F2 works there so I think this was fixed by Gnome Shell 3.1.4. I'm going to go ahead and mark this fixed then.
This isn’t fixed in 3.1.4. The problem I’m seeing is that GLib.shell_parse_argv(command_line) is returning a result like [true,3,command,with,arguments] instead of what gnome-shell appears to expect: [true,[command,with,arguments]] Is that a recent API change?

This is a change in gjs. We need to bump F15 to have the latest gjs.
Huh. Ubuntu oneiric upgraded gobject-introspection to 1.29.16-0ubuntu1 and gjs to 1.29.16-0ubuntu2, but GLib.shell_parse_argv(command_line) is still returning an explicit length. What else could be wrong?
Oh, never mind. The problem is that Ubuntu crippled the GLib annotations in gobject-introspection with this upload: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gobject-introspection/1.29.0-0ubuntu2 Sorry for the noise.

Yep, already did. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/816762
