In various discussions by private email, it appeared that a solution for
not overriding an existing bookmark would be the following :
save the bookmark to a temporary file
(e.g. ~/.kde/share/apps/kfm/tmp/newbookmark.kdelnk) 
and then running a kfmjob to move it from there to the bookmark directory.
This would pop up a 'file exists, do you want to rename' dialog box (the
so-called KRenameWin dialog, for brievity), and let the user either
* override the existing bookmark
* cancel
* rename the new bookmark

Ok, there is still the issue whether a page with no title should be saved
as NoTitle or <url>.kdelnk
As some other posts pointed out, NoTitle is much simpler because of all
strange chars that can occur in an URL.

Opinions ? Shall I go for this solution ? (Tomorrow night, probably...)
