Yes, that's a common approach, not only in KDE.
Emacs does it this way, and Eclipse even warns you as soon as
it detects a change, even before you try to save.
But:
- Does it work over IOSlaves?
- Does it work with automatic down/uploading (for apps that don't
support IOSlaves directly, like OO.o)?
- What will you do if the app detects the file has changed
(after you have spent an hour editing it)?
How will you merge a koffice document?
- It would be better than nothing, but being notified that
you may have issues with concurrent changes *before* you make
yours is a far superior solution, IMHO.
So, no, this not an approach to make everyone happy.
