Comment:

 Attached patch fixes this bug by a try-except block in close(). If the
 save() call fails a sugar alert will pop up that allows you to reconsider
 or force to close. Note that there is no general try-except block in
 write_file, so if it's called from another place there will still be no
 feedback. Not sure how to fix that though. Maybe we should have another
 block in save?
