Just noticed gsearchtool (installed by defaul on RH 7.1).
It allows you to graphically select search criteria and
you can view/edit the resulting find command it's about
to run. This would be really nice in a GTK widget in my
opinion, hmm..

Actually I think it's buggy/confusing as if you select mutiple
filenames to search it (implicitly) does -and instead of -or.
