The bits visible in the screenshots are very rough so it's hard to 
tell but it has the potential of offering a much cleaner default view 
and a more streamlined and consistent way of adding advanced options.

In the main window when no options are used yet (which I'd suppose to 
be the case when first starting up kfind) the options listing should 
be hidden. The 'add/remove/modify options' buttons should be above 
the options listing, and an 'execute search' button above the result 
listing seems to be missing. The result listing could also be hidden 
as long as no results exist yet. The 'case sensitive' check box could 
be moved to the add-options window as well. The window could be 
concluded by some 'open/save/close' buttons.

The add-options window seems to be very ugly but seems to be very 
practical and expandable as is (I was considering suggesting 
combining the different option kinds in a drop-down list, but having 
them visible all at once is definitely clearer).

Cheers, Datschge
