Title:
  Save button doesn't respect permissions

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  File->Save _sometimes_ fails to respect file-permissions.

For example, when modifying a file with permissions:
-r--r--r-- 1 pcjc2 pcjc2 510 2008-12-27 10:23 /home/pcjc2/geda/share/gEDA/sym/analog/resistor-2.sym

The log window often gets the following text:
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]
(Arguably we just need one descriptive message with a reason).

However; on some occasions, the file gets overritten, creating a new file with permissions:
-rw-r--r-- 1 pcjc2 pcjc2 490 2008-12-27 10:29 /home/pcjc2/geda/share/gEDA/sym/analog/resistor-2.sym

Obviously this is not good!
