Quick Ways to Start Programs in X11 Environments
Edvard:
Have you tried Synapse? No way it's even in the same ballpark as FARR, but it has a bunch of snazzy plugins, and is pretty darn snappy.

Thanks for the suggestion. I haven't tried it recently and there are two things about it that lead me to be wary: 1. Zeigeist and 2. Number of dependencies.
May be I will try it again anyway :)
Edvard:
Holy Schmoly! NEVER MIND!!
Zeitgeist is a service which logs the users's activities and events, anywhere from files opened to websites visited and conversations. It makes this information readily available for other applications to use in the form of timelines and statistics. It is able to establish relationships between items based on similarity and usage patterns by applying data association algorithms such as "Winepi" and "A Priori"

Yipes!

Well, lucky for me, the package installation didn't work out anyway :)
Tuxman:
I tried Synapse when I had a Mint box (for testing purposes). While Zeitgeist leaves be a bit confused, it's probably one of the best launchers out there. Right after the terminal, that is.
