In current Rawhide (Shell 3.1.3), the alt-f2 run dialog is broken:
anything you enter comes up as "command not found".

(Also, I was just testing to see what would happen if I specified an
explicit path, and that's fun: I entered '/usr/bin/gnome-terminal' , and
it got stuck with the 'Please enter a command:' dialog displayed and the
rest of the interface part-greyed-out...)

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 19 development cycle.
Changing version to '19'.

(As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 19 development
cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 19 End Of Life. Thank you.)

Closing this one, as the alt+f2 run dialog works correctly in current
versions of Fedora.
