With respect to this guide:
http://www.glx-dock.org/ww_page.php?p=Remove%20the%20last%20Gnome%20Panel&lang=en
Inability to use Alt-F2 combination when completely removing Gnome Panel, can be avoided by installing 'gmrun' software, which is in Ubuntu Repository.
$ sudo apt-get install gmrun
Then binding Alt-F2 combination to this command in your window manager config. Compiz in my case.
'gmrun' also has a history and other KeWl stuff which can be configured through text config.
$ man gmrun
That still won't let you use Alt-F1 to invoke Start menu, but at least that's something. And I'm not using Alt-F1 combination anyways.
If anyone knows a workaround for Alt-F1, plz share
Regards,

Hi, the fast launcher box is available within the gmenu applet (with editable shortcut)
but thanks anyway for the tip, that could help those that won't use that applet.
PS : aptitude is better than apt-get as it respects your system settings for dependencies (install and removes recommands and suggests if enabled, and they are by default) |

I'm using GnoMenu, which I find more eye-candy, than GMenu, although GnoMenu doesn't support hotkeys (or I am stupid enough not to find where to set this). For hotkey feature it might be a workaround to set GMenu applet size to 1x1. This visually removes it from Dock, but keeps all the functionality.
Thanks for aptitude tip! I am addicted to apt-get for some reason, but will seriously consider switching to aptitude. |

if there is no shortkey in GnoMenu, we can easily add one to the applet  |
