You can run 'bash' or even just 'sh' in a terminal from Alt-F2.

I wonder if it would be possible to upgrade the run command window to 
have a proper shell (complete with command history). Then you could 
switch from the run-command window to a gnome terminal in one GUI step. 
Also the run-command window could have a working directory, and the 
gnome terminals that appear could have a predictable working directory 
(currently they seem to inherit the working directory from a previous 
window).

Which source rpm does the run command dialog come from?
