Fehlstart is an application launcher, much like Launchy, Quicksilver, or GNOME Do. However, where other launchers focus on adding features, Fehlstart is as basic as they come. If you want to search for files or control your media player, look elsewhere. Felhstart launches applications. Period.
Fehlstart isn't in any major repositories so it has to be compiled from source.
