Has been that way from FC5 onwards. The dialog box still exists. Alt+F2.
That's intuitive, not. Rather, it's functionality obfuscation. Even
Windows shows a "Run" option on the program menu. If grandparents
running Windows can handle it, why not Gnome users? Is there some
rationale? I imagine this is some upstream decision.
