khexedit is exactly what I was looking for. I have the feeling there are
more utilities available for KDE than for gnome. You feel the difference
once small utilities are available for one desktop and are missing for
the other.

This is not meant to be an attack on gnome, just the ascertainment 
I have made. I am still using gnome, though :) So no hard feelings ;-)
