For those of you who like to keep their installations lean and swift, installing software can be a problem at times. There’s lots of useful software out there, but some can be really bloated and slow, while others are small themselves, but have large or many dependencies. This is especially true for Gnome-Do. When you install Gnome-Do, Evolution get installed along as a dependency. If you are using Ubuntu (or GNOME), where Evolution is already pre-installed, this is not an issue. However, if you are using other distro, like Linux Mint, or other desktop managers, then you won’t want to install the bulky Evolution just to use Gnome-Do.

Tell me how to install it without Mono, that would be the only way I'd be even close to interested.

Meanwhile, I'm quite happy with Krunner, thanks.
how about kupfer: http://kaizer.se/wiki/kupfer/

a quicklauncher similar to gnome do written in python and gtk i believe

gnome launch-box was the fore runner to gnome do. older but still a nice launcher

Mercury is a minimalist launcher developed for the eeepc linux users. It does not look fancy, but is nice if you have an older or less powerful machine. http://www.marengo-ltd.com/mercury/

Take a look at kupfer its a nice little app.
I use gmrun on my machines. Nice and simple, but has tab completion.
