Hi there
simple question, does anyone knows what kde's alt-f2 invokes
so i can invoke it in my favorite windowmanager (fluxbox) in the same way
by editing my keys file

I don't know what kde uses, but fluxbox has it's own run command - fbrun.

I know but i don't like it: it's ugly
it doesn't have a command history, ...

And it's speedy enough to use even on this old gear (celeron 600/256 mb
ram)

Point your key to launch a console, xterm, aterm, Eterm, konsole,
Terminal, whatever your choice for a term, and you'll get the best
command launcher, including history and pets, in the world :-)

Here a sample with Eterm: (one liner)
$ Eterm -T LAUNCHER --theme smoked_glass --trans --scrollbar 0
--default-font-index 4 --geometry 80x1 --proportional --borderless 0
--buttonbar 0 --foreground-color paleturquoise --tint grey28

Not ugly - plain.

Does too - just hit the up or down arrow to move though the history

Kde's run prompt seems to be built in, if you have Xfce you can use
xfrun4 - it's prettier than fbrun but doesn't have the options that kde
has except for 'run in terminal'.
