As Steven I also hit that problem today with Evolution wanting to save
some attachment.

This problem seems to be considered fixed upstream but there are still
reports that it is *not* fixed or it regressed somehow. Therefore I
created the new ticket 689515 [1] in the GNOME BTS and I am setting the
meta tags for the Debian report accordingly.


Thanks,

Paul


PS: Steven, to keep threading you might want to follow the article in
