Although the already implemented URL_foo = alias support works well for urls, it is not quite flexible enough for "regular" applications. I would like to request alias support for aliases defined in ~/.bashrc and possibly in .gmrunrc as well. Ideally, additional $PATHs specified in the ~/.bashrc would be included in gmrun's search path as well. Many thanks for an otherwise excellent program!

    Hi, I would also like to add my vote for Bash Aliases (+ Functions) support. Searching the web, it seems that many people would love this feature.

    I too would like to register my interest. For me it would be the most elegant way to ensure different GTK themes for applications run as different users (including root) which also permits my QT4 applications to use my GTK theme (via GTK+ in Trolltech.conf, which requires GTK2_RC_FILES to be explicitly set by the user).
