Bug Description

I would like to be able to supply command line argument(s) to applications that are run.

My specific case:
I have a bash script that takes one argument. I created a Gnome app-starter called Event, which launches this script. Now I would like to be able to use Gnome-Do to launch the Event app, supply an argument and let the event script work its magic.

Temporary solution:
Put the script in the PATH, bring up Gnome-Do, type event my_arg, press enter. This does not make it possible to just type e+tab+my_arg, the "real" Gnome-Do-way.
