Bug Description
Binary package hint: xfce4-utils
When you type a recently used command into xfrun4, it only searches at the beginnings of each history line. If you look for a script or command you started with an absolute path, e.g. /usr/bin/foo or /home/me/

Thank you for taking the time to make Ubuntu better. Since what you submitted is not really a bug, or a problem, but rather an idea to improve Ubuntu, you are invited to post your idea in Ubuntu Brainstorm at http:// brainstorm. ubuntu. com/ where it can be discussed, voted by the community and reviewed by developers. I would think this would be welcome in any desktop environment, not just in Xubuntu. Thanks for taking the time to share your opinion!
I am confirming this as a wishlist item for Xfce4-utils, but it should really be brought up and discussed for all the desktops.
