I am using a shell and I am using GNOME. GNOME has many good programs
like the calendar, gnumerics etc..  and the panel is very nice. :-)

Yes, but I would hope that it was an effort only for moms and
dads.:-) 

Replacing the filesystem is not the Right Thing as I see it. If the
problem is where did I put that file then one could, this is just an
idea not a proposal, have a button in the fileselector called "Search"
or some such which ran a GUI/find program that search for your
file. Then you can pick which one it was from the list of possible
files and returned it to the fileselector.

There is probably a much better way to do this, but it is an example
that one doesn't have to change the filesystem, just make a GUI
abstraction on top of it.
