Possible permission denied error on file save

[Steven Sproat]

Application writes a wtbd_temp file when saving the file: this could possibly be written to /usr/lib where the program is installed -- and the user lacks permission to write there.

[Marco Clocchiatti (cloc3)]

I also find this bug.
but the wtbd_temp file seems not created in /usr/lib.

it seems created in current `pwd` directory. a tipical way to produce the issue is to start the program from command line (instead of from default menu icon), in this way :

cd / && whyteboard

Hi Marco,

I've fixed this bug and it will be out in the release (expected somewhat soon - by the end of the month hopefully)

Could you make a new version without this bug?
Thanks

Hmm. where are you trying to save the file to? works fine for me in Win XP
can you save other files to that directory with other programs? vista and win 7 does permission related stuff differently to XP
