I am used to Gnome and love Gnome-do. It is a very convenient application launcher. What would be the equivalent for XFCE? Thanks!

pacman -Si gnome-do
Depends On : ndesk-dbus-glib gnome-desktop-sharp mono-addins gtk2 gnome-vfs-sharp gnome-keyring-sharp notify-sharp-svn
xdg-utils desktop-file-utils gconf-sharp libgnome-sharp
Good to go on XFCE

I think he is more worried about this:
└─[>>] yaourt -S gnome-do
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...

From a quick search to remember myself of some alternatives i knew i saw, there is at least synapse and kupfer as alternatives, but i don't know about much about them.

I use gmrun for launching applications
EDIT: added link to the alternatives website, very convenient if you're looking for applications with equivalent functionality.

I would go with Diaz's suggestions:
Kupfer
AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=27896
Dependencies: dbus-python gtk2>=2.16 hicolor-icon-theme pygobject>=2.18 pygtk python-keybinder python-keyring pyxdg shared-mime-info
Synapse
AUR: http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=44051
Dependencies: dbus-glib gtkhotkey hicolor-icon-theme json-glib libgee libnotify libunique libzeitgeist
Others
Launchy is in the community repos. It's nice but it requires Qt. Deps: Qt, xdg-utils.
gmrun is in the community depos. It does offer command name/URL completion but it looks too simplistic too replace gnome-do. But it does have minimal dependencies: gtk and popt.
Bashrun is in the community repos and it looks interesting Deps: bash. It doesn't support Terminal, so it's unusuable unless you use an alternative terminal emulator.
Something else?

I don't know, the regular xfrun also get autocompletion after it learns your more usual apps so maybe it's worth a try, and you can even delete the ones you may have mistyped in its configuration file. For URLs I don't know, i admit. For a dock Cairo-dock (or Glx-dock if you prefer) fill the job for me until someone gets that plank to compile without ubuntued dependecies.

@Diaz
I apologize, I read it incorrectly as a "possible" question, not a "feasible" question; you are correct it pulls in quite the large list of deps because of mono and sharp. Kupfer looks interesting, thanks for the suggestion!
@alez
Alt-F2 is the default 'xfrun' keyboard shortcut and it does handle URLs, but it does require the "http://" unfortunately and the autofill is "dumb" in this sense. I have to type "http://bbs." before this website autofills, just typing "arch" or "linux" won't pull. It is character matching from beginning, no indexing on "words" in the middle, so to speak. Honestly, though, I switched from KDE because of imposing indexing
