In fact, finding a category is often hardest when the categories aren't specific enough. And when it comes to finding an image, for example,
for
an article about art nouveau/jugend windows, [[:Category:Windows]] is just useless. We do need categories like [[:Category:Jugend windows in Finland]].
What about the category intersection tool mentioned above?
Does it exist? Or is it just a theoretical concept?

Yes, it would work fine if all our users were perfect. Let's continue with the same example and imagine what Catgory:Finland would become like. 10.000 images, maybe? Then we have this dufus (see http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Welcome_log) who uploads an image with only [[Category:Finland]]. That image will be lost forever. No one will ever find it and no one will ever be able to use.
One could create a query or a special page that lists images with few categories. Maybe we could even sort them by age ...
