Okay... I'm trying to get my head around what you've done here. Isn't
it simply that you've made a way to, with what looks like a
point-and-click interface, let the user type in a command line? Or
even worse, force them to edit a file to change the command used? That
already exists - as I mentioned, several desktop environments have
Alt-F2 to let you type in any program and run it. That's no more using
a GUI than bringing up a terminal is.
