  [upstream] When overwriting a file,  save dialog doesn't specify

Bug description:
  When overwriting a file from the Save dialog in OpenOffice.org the
  Save dialog is closed and then a popup appears with the text, "The
  file already exists. Overwrite?" (on slower computers there is a short
  pause between the two things happening). This popup does not contain
  the name of the file that you've chosen to overwrite and so I always
  have to be very careful when saving the file. What if I decide to
  overwrite a file and accidentally select the wrong one? I will face
  the same error message as if I chose to overwrite the right file and
  so I wouldn't even notice.

  In other GNOME applications (e.g. gedit), the corresponding dialog box
  says, “A file named "filename.extension" already exists.  Do you want
  to replace it?”. Also, this dialog box is displayed while the folder
  view in the Save dialog is displayed behind it. If I so wish, I can
  move the dialog box and look to see if I'm in the right folder. This
  plus the mention of the filename means I can save files over other
  files in gedit without having to worry about whether I've destroyed
  something else.
