Bug#649577: gnome-shell: Alt+F2 (execute a command) does not work anymore

[Colin Darie]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.0.2-8
Severity: normal

Since a few days, Alt+F2 does not work anymore.

For example, if I type:
  - nautilus => command not found
  - /usr/bin/nautilus => nothing happens, the prompt stays visibile and I can't
remove but I can continue to use the windows "under" the prompt (so it's still
possible to reload gnome-shell from a terminal)
  - /usr/bin/epiphany (which is a shell script): this open the file in my text
editor (?!)

I believe this happens since gnome-shell 3.0.2-6, and it's still happening in
3.0.2-8.
