Of all the things I think of that can wreck a desktop, none can surpass that thing that you use most of all -- The file save and file save as dialog. In KDE4, I think I first saw this mess in konqueror when I went to save a web page. I had already saved a similar page and my thought was to choose the previously saved filename and then add -01 at the end of the name and save. As soon as I chose the filename, the dialog immediately closed, selecting the original filename and then immediately proposed to overwrite the very file I wanted to keep. This is the nuttiest half-Gnome bastardization of the very core of a desktop that is wholly unacceptable. A save as dialog has two purposes: (1) allow the user to select a previous file name to 'save as', or to change the name and then save the file contents under the modified file name and (2) to allow the user to type in an arbitrary name and then save the file contents under the new arbitrary name. KDE4's file save dialog has been rendered incapable of preforming this, the most basic of desktop task by some stunning stroke of incompetence. If there is anyone that understands the meaning of a complete and utter show stopper, this is it. Mark this as the number one issue to make sure it is fixed before 11.1 goes any further. I have tried, but try as I may, I cannot fathom in my wildest dreams why anyone would cripple what heretofore had been a perfectly good flawlessly working file save dialog.
