Right. This looks like we really need a "Saving"-mode in kfile, specifying 
several things only relevant to a save-as dialog.

Indeed it does ;) You're right, it's not really necessary for this. It's 
just, there have been numerous requests for adding an extension-widget to 
KFD. I found out about QDialog::setExtension() and tried to use it, 
because it would place the checkbox exactly where I wanted it to have :)
Anyway, I guess I'm capable to add that to KFD's layout as well :)

StarOffice also has the "encrypt/decrypt" checkbox at the same place -- 
I guess we will need the same thing for KOffice?
