Title:
  Save errors don't bring up warning dialog

Status in GPL Electronic Design Automation tools:
  Triaged
Status in âpcbâ package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
