I found out why your program crashes on my machine. It’s because the program cannot handle items on the desktop which have a pipe (|) in the caption text or maybe in the filename.
Then it prints this:
file==/home/mnemo/Desktop/a|b.desktop
GLib.GException: Error cannot find file id ‘a|b.desktop’
di2 created
file==a|b.desktop
exec is null
1. surf to: http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Charles/IE8-Search/
2. drag the tiny icon just left of the URL bar onto your linux desktop (this will create a new .desktop file which has a pipe in both caption and filename)
3. run grunner.exe
4. crash
Makes me _very_ curious, but needs more polish / needs to be more user friendly. This was my experience:
fetched lp:grunner, open MD and compiled it. Ran the generated exe and got this error:

At this point I just gave up.
Tell me, what does the grunner app do?
GRunner is in developing
It’s normal that there are some problems. It’s still a prototipe for now.
Anyway.. it seems that you did not install some required packages, try to install:
gnome-desktop-sharp2 libndesk-dbus1.0-cil
Ah, remember to kill any instance of GRunner (it works on dbus!).
This should replace the GNOME Run Dialog ^^, a nice middle ground between it and the heavy GNOME-Do.
I have both of those packages installed and I still get the error. If I investigate deeper, the problem is that the “exec” variable in parseExec() is null when it’s called from get_Exec() on startup.

It seems that you have some wrong files.desktop.
Try to investigate, in file Utils/SystemUtils.cs try to add this line at 149:
if(item.Exist) { + Console.WriteLine(file); if (dict.ContainsKey(item.Exec)) {“GRUNNUR”
wow, it looks gorgeous!!
krunner+mono=grunner
Gee, I wonder where I’ve seen that before…
Hey Leo,

Thanks for the report…
I’ve solved problem in bzr…
GRunner will exclude every desktop file that does not present “Exec” string (that is not an application), at least for now.
I like your style (video + simplistic instructions to get it for the technical users
.
How will this fare with Gnome DO?
What do you mean?
Thanks for the quick fix Leo. I synced bzr now and it works!
