down schematic should issue a warning if the schematic is not available

[KaiMartin]

to reproduce:

1) open gschem with the file down_schematic_test.sch which is attached to this report.

2) select the sub sheet symbol

3) do Down_Schematic from the Hierarchy menu.
gschem will not find the sub sheet and silently returns to pointer mode.

Suggestion: Pop up a dialog that explains the situation. For bonus points, refer to a hierarchy help page.

Failure isn't silent - log window says:

Searching for source [subsheet-foo-bar.sch]
Could not find [subsheet-foo-bar.sch] in any SourceLibrary
Cannot find source [subsheet-foo-bar.sch]

A dialog would be more explicit though.

However, in latest git HEAD, selecting the symbol gives (in the log window):

Gareth: The "Wrong type to apply" errors should now be fixed in git.

[Peter TB Brett (peter-b)]

Okay, pretty much fixed. Note to self: fix up gschem/src/o_misc.c:397.
