I love comcast. They kill my connection for a weekend and when it comes back up, i find that somebody else completed the exact same work i did... Basically, I continued my work on a new command-line applet and managed to finish it up yesterday. I realize that the mini-commander applet has received a huge overhaul and now works, but i thought there might be some interest in what i put together. I'm attaching a small screenshot to show what it looks like. Here's a rundown of the features: * enter key to launch a command * ctl-enter to launch a command in a terminal * autocompletion of past commands, works while you type (see screenshot for example) * utf8-happy * "Run: " text which helps clarify the applet and provides a place to right-click * minimal preferences (see screenshot) * no frills (i.e. no clock, no file browser, and no large buttons taking up precious panel real estate) * small, clean codebase (under 700 lines) the only thing it currently can't do is launch a particular program based on the command typed, i.e. launch galeon when a user types "http://www.gnome.org";, but i plan on adding that tonight. Is there any interest in moving to this post-gnome-2 or should i direct my efforts towards integrating these features with mini-commander? Todd
