I am looking for a panel widget which will basically a textbox which does the same thing as the box in the "Run Application" window (alt+F2) but without the options such as run in terminal, file, different user, etc. Just a plain run box. Is there such a thing?

Thanks, but I'm looking for a widget where the textbox itself sits in the panel, so all I have to do is type, not click to open another application, and then type. (Telling me that I'm not saving any cliking isn't the answer I'm looking for. I know that, but I like doing it this way.)

Deskbar applet - http://projects.gnome.org/deskbar-applet/

It does more than just what you're asking, but it does what you want.

if you want it in the panel deskbar-applet is all there is.

edit: just tried it,they don't let you show the command box on the panel no more.
