This post serves mostly to announce my lurker status to the group. :) I
also used to lurk on slashdot many years ago.
 
I too returned to my usenet roots a while ago because WWW's "average IQ"
is in decline. Regardless, WWW also enables me to hear some voices of
genuine genius for the first time. It's my bet that I can count on
usenet to clue me in on the best of WWW.
 
WWW searches are now too painful to endure. I bet that

   find . | grep -l gedit | grep -l fails | grep -l save | grep files
 
under the appropriate usenet group directory will find a pertinent
answer quicker than a traditional WWW search. That's why I archive
usenet to my own server; to search my own way and to play by my own
rules.

Enough of politics. The information that follows is of limited use given
that gedit 3.x has been released. It's mostly an excuse to post to
comp.misc.

Good luck guys!

For years a gedit bug caused a failure to properly save files on an smb
file system. The patch that follows took care of the problem for me.
(My CVS chops leave a lot to be desired.)

    /* kuenz close the file so we can rename it */
    if (close (lsaver->priv->fd) != 0)
    {
      g_warning("couldn't close");
    }

###

    /* kuenz close tmpfd so we can rename it */
    if (close (tmpfd) != 0)
    {
      g_warning("could not close tmpfd");
    }

###
    /* restat and get the mime type */
    /* kuenz if (fstat (tmpfd, &new_statbuf) != 0) */
    if (stat (lsaver->priv->local_path, &new_statbuf) != 0)
    {
      g_set_error (&lsaver->priv->error,
             G_IO_ERROR,
             g_io_error_from_errno (errno),
             "%s", g_strerror (errno));

      close (tmpfd);
      goto out;
    }
