Bug Description
Pressing Alt-F2 brings up a launcher that matches on all executable files instead of filename. Typing Alt-F2 fir ENTER should launch Firefox, but instead it trys to run the non-existent command 'fir'.
It should match an executable file that starts with 'fir' first, then provide the option for something else. It should complain if the command could not be executed.
It would be nice if it matched the most frequently used one as well...

This seems to be the required behavior by design. Never discussed previously on another bug AFAIK, so marking needs-design.
