Proposed fix

If for some reason (e.g. permissions) Konsole cannot save profile - it doesn't notify user about it in any way.

Proposed solution is to display warning window if konsole cannot write profile.

Thanks I tend to agree with the patch although the dialog is rather vague as I'm sure how many people have 'system administrators'.  We could also catch the return value and create our own dialog.

Check to verify we have write permissions when saving profiles

Summary:
Use custom dialog instead of KConfig's generic vague one.
