I have found that the built-in Find Objects is one of *the* worst parts of the
WPS.  I can't understand why it is even there, because if *anybody* on the WPS
programming team had tried to use it, they would've dropped it straight away.

One of the *easiest* ways to bring your system to a totally unusable state can
be done with three left-clicks:

	left-click Find Objects,
	left-click Save Results check-box
	left-click Find button

Go on, try it.  I urge *everybody* to try this and see what happens.
