Shortcut for "run application" in Unity

Install gmrun
```
sudo apt-get install gmrun
```
Use the Add button in gnome-keybinding-properties to create a new action with the command gmrun. You can then bound it to Alt+F2 or Super+R or any other combination.

This however is not as powerful as the Alt+F2 of the gnome-panel.

Other alternatives:

sudo apt-get install kupfer

Install gnome-do

sudo apt-get install gnome-do

Install Synapse

sudo apt-get install synapse
