while the dash could become able to exec commands too.

In my opinion it could be positive, since would add integration to Unity.

That sounds cool , but accidental runs should be avoided . Here's what I thought of when I saw your idea :

open dash -> type command with "run:" or "execute:" or something like that in front of it ( "run:ubuntu-bug unity" ) -> "Run command in terminal ?" dialogue appears -> Ok -> a terminal opens and executes the command .

I think the confirmation dialogue should have a checkbox not to appear again .
