Bug Description
This situation happened to my girlfriend:
1. The user clicks to download an attachment from his webmail
2. On the firefox download dialog, the user picks "open", since he will be editing the document right away. The document opens on writer.
3. After several hours of work, the user hits "Save" on writer, and then shut down the machine
4. When getting back home, the document is gone!
This happens because when one clicks on "open", the file gets saved on /tmp. The expected behavior for me would be Writer giving some alert such as "Warning, you are saving this file in a temporary location, and the file can be lost after a reboot. Save the file on the temporary location anyway ? [yes] [save in another location] [cancel]
