A button/dialog that finds the object that the texture was used on, would let me replace/remove the image from the file, so it could get cleaned up again.. :)

Not that hard to do at the moment. (the beta release includes the outliner search field, which is to the right of the popup menu in the header so you may need to expand the width of the outliner or scroll sideways a little to see it)

In the outliner press numpad+ a few times (five or six should expand all that it can) to expand all items then use the search box to find the texture you want. All objects that have it assigned to them will be visible in the list.
From there you can select the object, show/hide etc.

Select button next to the "car" button. To select all objects ( and deselect others unless shift is pressed ) related to the material/texture/whatever the select button is next to.

This could also work for:
- Textures ( materials get selected in outline view ).
- Duplicate mesh data. ( Objects using the data get selected ).

-Id like to see the Node Editor workspace become a little more generalized so that you can show meshes, textures, and modifiers (like displace) all side by side. (Textures do more than texture these days).
-Perhaps The area should be split into several parts. A general scene graph on one tab, special workflow Area on another tab (materials, Textures), and Compositor on another tab.
______________________
*Display everything in the scene Or limit what you want to see using toggles at the bottom of the window.
*Should just be able to right click on your texture node to get options like "Show Output(s)", "Show All Connected" or whatever else might make searching through a scene easier.
*select "Show Output(s)"
*Outputs will be shown and the rest hidden
___________________________________________
Search Ideas:
-Search [by name]
-Show All
-Show None
-Show Inputs(s)
-Show Output(s)
-Show All Connected
-Show Orphaned (Blocks with no users)

I have submitted a patch for review at projects.blender.org
https://projects.blender.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=23443&group_id=9 &atid=127

This patch automatically expands items when performing a search making the filter much more useful. It does not alter datablocks view as the huge size of the datablocks list make this search too slow to be useful.

edit 25/8
I have added a new patch that works better. After you remove the search criteria the list restores to how you had it before the search (previous patch left everything expanded).
Also the items matching the search criteria are highlighted to make them easy to find.
