Title:
  Super key and Alt+F2 do not show same list, yet look the same visually

Status in Unity:
  Invalid
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This bug affects Unity in Ubuntu 12.04 Beta.

  To repeat:

  - Press Super key and do a search for an application (firefox for
  example): a list of applications show up. Dismiss with Esc

  - Now press Alt+F2 and do a search for application (firefox for
  example): a list of most recently used applications show up.

  - Visually they both look and fee the same but behave very
  differently. This is potentially very confusing to power users.

  In the example above there is no confusion between the two prompts,
  however if you are searching for AMD Catalyst Control Centre then the
  results are different and confusing. AMD Catalyst Control Centre only
  starts when the Super key prompt was used, but for some reason it does
  not start when Alt+F2 prompt was used (even the commands displayed are
  different).

  The same confusion can be observed with the Chromium brower, entering
  the first few chars of chromium with the Super key prompt works fine
  but it does not with the Alt+F2 prompt (even though the entire word
  chromium is entered).
