Summary: Save errors don't bring up warning dialog

Initial Comment:
When saving a file which can't be writte, the error message dissapears quietly into the log window.

Since the user's data hasn't been saved, it would be appropriate to pop up a warning dialog citing the error and a standard description (from the OS) of why the file wasn't saved.

I've marked this as a gschem bug, although any dialogs added should be updated in gattrib as well.

When fixing this, it might be nice to update the logged messages. Currently, for a save error (due to permissions), we get:

o_save: Could not open [/home/pcjc2/geda/share/gEDA/sym/analog/resistor-2.sym]
Could NOT save page [/home/pcjc2/geda/share/gEDA/sym/analog/resistor-2.sym]

The first line is misleading, and should be removed. We should also cite the reason for the error after the second line.
