bashrun (X11 application launcher based on bash)

Bashrun provides a powerful application launcher by running a
specialized bash session in a small terminal window, conveniently
providing bash features like tab-completion and history.  Additional
features include user configurable rules for automatically launching
certain commands in a new terminal window, looking up manual and
info pages, performing dict and google queries, defining bookmarks
for webpages or piping command output to the clipboard.

NOTE: This uses xdotool if it is installed.  Also, zenity or kdialog
is used if installed (will fall back to xmessage otherwise).
