I test KAider (ran from kde-devel account) on kde svn .po files:
i 'chmod a+r *po && chmod a+w *po' under my usual account, then change one  
of .po files with KAider,
and then i cant even 'svn diff' from my main account, because the file  
cant be read.

because of this i have switched back to QFile
(kaider could take a little advantage of KFileSave anyway, cause it uses  
transaction-style saving ("begin transaction", "commit transaction"))
