It seems the saving problem is not related to the space in the dirname, as the same file exhibits problems in another dir too.

And the Gtk-Warning is only displayed when libreoffice-gnome and/or libreoffice-gtk are installed, btw.

Retitling then.

Still, I suspect something weird with the space interpretation in the dirname... :-/ But probably not my main problem so far.

Being unable to save my file changes is higher priority.

Thanks in advance.
