Alternative alt+F2 popup to support gksu?

I'm using budgie DE which has a run popup dialog by pressing ALT+F2, but it doesn't support gksu. I't doesn't recognized it and just finds another app which has a similar to "gksu" name. So, is there any alternative to replace it and how?

I found a way to use grun. I cannot change most of the shortcuts from settings window, just don't do nothing. I used xbindkeys to assign alt+F2 to grun, after I disabled the shortcut from settings. Grun is fine but I would like to use xfce' s run command. Is it possible without xfce running?

This isn't really an Arch issue, so I'd recommend that you also ask in the solus/budgie forum - it's a very new project, and I'm sure they would appreciate the feedback, and the opportunity to address your issue.
