Something about this:

If the application use the default KFileDialog overwrite prompt
(KFileDialog::setConfirmOverwrite()), if you select an already existing file,
the "Overwrite" message box appears over the file dialog, *without closing it*;
so if you cancel the Overwrite, you will be again on the dialog. This is the
expectable and what you are asking for.

However, if the application do not use this default overwrite prompt and
implements its own version; at first it will launch the save dialog, then when
the file was selected, the dialog will close and the application will do the
check for existing file and it will launch the overwrite dialog if needed. Of
course in this case, canceling the overwrite you won't get the save dialog
again.

So, this is not a kdelibs issue, but a issue on every Kde app implementation.
Kate/KWrite is an example of this behaviour.

The best approach will be:
- File a bug report for every app which shows this behaviour.
- May be close this report (or not, and use it to centralize all the other
issues)

What do you think?
Regards
