Description
Save As Dialog Boxes Incorrectly Display "Open" Button¶
The following dialog boxes should show a "Save" button rather than an "Open" button.
- File->Save Project As...
- File->Save as Image...
This is observed with trunk r5105, built with Qt 4.1.1

I have attached a patch to qgisapp.cpp which I believe fixes this issue for both "save project as" and "save as image" dialog boxes, in addition to two another minor fixes.
- The dialog box is configured to open a file by default. By setting the accept mode to AcceptSave, the "Open" button is now changed to "Save".
- The dialog box is now configured to confirm if the user has selected an existing file to be overwritten. The code that previously performed this check and displayed a warning in fileSaveAs() was deleted in favor of the Qt confirmation. There was no corresponding check being performed in saveMapAsImage() as far as I could find.
- The fileSaveAs() dialog box title is changed to match the existing title in the saveMapAsImage() dialog box.
A potential issue I see is that when the user is prompted to confirm overwriting an existing file, the titles are too long and are truncated in the confirmation dialog box.

Applied patch in revisiont 4aaf2460 (SVN r5108)
Note that the File->save dialog option still shows 'open' instead of 'save'.
Many thanks for this patch!
