I don't get that stuff about libcombo.so, do I have to load that plugin explicitely?
I have XFCE4.2 from oscilation debian repository, and only thing xfrun does, is that it runs the program i type in, remembers history of programs and can launch them in terminal, I don't *see* any suggestion written out :(
It even doesn't have an open dialog to have a look how the program I want to launch is called, what I can do easily if I type location in gmrun and press Tab, it pops up all programs in that location so that I can see their names.

One more things that gmrun does apart from xfrun:  it can execute much more complex shell commands (and I appreciate it much, as I am kind a shell freak:), e.g. 'mplayer mymovie.avi; poweroff' when I want to see a movie and then poweroff :))  
     ........and everywhere is the allmighty shell completion to please users who use something like gmrun (I believe those who don't use bash completion don't use run dialog at all, they use the menu 'dough)

So I would be happy, if you, edscott could figure something out with Mihai.  Unfortunately I probably cannot help you, but if you told me more about what is under the hud of xfrun4, I could find some time to have a look at it
