Print to file dialog does not add extension to modified file name

[Frank Bicknell]

Printing to a file using the gnome print dialog in Precise produces a dialog containing a default filename. If you change that default filename, it removes the handy .pdf provided by the default, requiring you to provide your own 4 keystrokes '.pdf'.

It would be nicer if it would add .pdf back to your name unless you provide your own ext, such as '.xyz' or '.', the latter of which would omit any ext.
