Sorry, that was something I didn't take into mind, you're right.
Maybe this command is more efficient:

# find / -exec ls -l {} \; | grep -v "/home" | grep "rocketmouse"

It may be a good idea to send the output into a temporary file
and check it when the command has finished. As I said, you will
probably see some "false positives", but look for anything
strange in /usr.

Yes, access permissions matter a lot, so the command should be
run as root.
