The app could "tell" KoDocument that it has to save completely e.g. after inserting or removing images/parts/cliparts/... This could be implemented in a BC way, and we can make it default to the safe variant (completeSaving). Saving the XML in KPresenter takes a lot less than a second even on reasoably large presentations... maybe we should have a progress bar (like in MS Office) for that. By doing that and by providing a common config dialog to configure the timeout we could "fix" that IMHO. That said I have to say that the "we should == I will" rule doesn't apply here, unfortunately (except if you can wait for a few weeks ;).
