Is the "Run" menu item from GNOME deliberately missing or is this an
oversight?

It is deliberate. You can access the run dialog by use the shortcut (Alt+F2) which is faster. You still have the panel applet. Right click panel to get the content menu => Click Add to panel => Click Run Dialog if you need a GUI way to do this. GNOME 2.14 which is planned to be included in FC5 will have a menu editor and there might have a gconf key to turn the menu entry back again. The idea behind this change to my understanding is to streamline the menus and make sure that any application that doesnt use the freedesktop desktop specification to automatically add menu entries on installation gets fixed. The deskbar applet proposed for inclusion in GNOME 2.14 (http://mail.gnome.org/archives/deskbar-applet-list/2005-October/msg00116.html ) adds a enhanced replacement for the run dialog with provisions for keyboard shortcuts. Also the context menu entry for the terminal in the desktop has also been removed. A replacement with additional functionality to open a terminal in any folder is available in Fedora Extras.

# yum install nautilus-open-terminal if you need it.
