I said I had "a command line outlook", not that I was strongly 
anti-GUI.
See, no " <dons flame-proof armour> required ;/
Seriously though, I think the default action of Mate's "Find" 
menu option should have  been that of "locate" or "find".
In this case "find" was more useful. There was a directory with 
improper permissions set. "locate" ignored it but "find" reported 
that it could not be searched.
