Not offhand, having only run Mandrake 8.2 for a couple of days, but the way
I usually find things like this is to touch a file, make a change using the
vendor's GUI, then run find to get anything newer than the touched file:

	touch /tmp/timestamp
	# edit using GUI
	find / -xdev -type f -newer /tmp/timestamp
