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/
Could NOT save page [/home/
The first line is misleading, and should be removed. We should also cite the reason for the error after the second line.

Steps to reproduce:
mkdir unwritable
touch unwritable/test.sch
chmod -R a-w unwritable
gschem unwritable/test.sch
Insert a component, "File->Save". No error message appears; log message is:
Can't save backup file: /home/peter/
