Summary: Non-existing schematic file not handled properly?

Initial Comment:
In libgeda (1.2.0), f_basic.c around line 202, if the file doesn't exist then w_current->page_current->object_tail seems to be left uninitialised and the test on line 209 doesn't indicate that the file was not opened. Something like this may be better:
  
} else if (g_file_test (full_filename, G_FILE_TEST_EXISTS)) {
    /* Load the original file */
    w_current->page_current->object_tail = (OBJECT *) 
    o_read(w_current, w_current->page_current->object_tail, 
	   full_filename);
/* added the following: */
  } else w_current->page_current->object_tail = NULL;

gnetlist currently gives no error message if invoked with a schematic file that can't be found. The above fix results in gnetlist giving an appropriate message.
