just run gtkfind using sudo from a terminal:
sudo gtkfind & exit

Very cool....   why the "& exit" though, which just immediately closes the terminal window?

You can just enter the command and leave the terminal running if you want. It will print out any error or other messages. Leaving the ampersand will allow you to continue using the terminal window to launch other applications. Just entering the command without the ampersand ties the terminal to that one application and uses memory for both the application and the terminal window. Just a matter of personal preference.

Thanks for the tip about the "&" (I used to just open a new term window).  For some reason the terminal window closed before loading gtkfind, but now seems to be working.
