[arm-allstar] New Wx, minor enhancement

[Jim Kinter Jr.]

LOCATE is the linux command to find a file anywhere on the 
filesystem, it looks for any reference to the argument
example:
[root@ ~]# locate butt
/usr/share/man/mann/button.n.gz
/usr/share/man/mann/checkbutton.n.gz
/usr/share/man/mann/menubutton.n.gz
/usr/share/man/mann/radiobutton.n.gz
/usr/share/man/mann/ttk::button.n.gz
/usr/share/man/mann/ttk::checkbutton.n.gz
/usr/share/man/mann/ttk::menubutton.n.gz
~~~

UPDATEDB is the command to rescan/reindex the filesystem of all 
filenames for the locate command

On most of my linux systems, updatedb is cron'd to run every night, 
to keep up with any changes from the previous day, but if something 
was just installed, you can run updatedb manually to rescan 
immediately for recent changes
