To provide the indicator functionality, now the 'Save' icon changes when
there are unsaved changes, and we'll have an alternative design (save

The updated icon is still to be provided, but should be in time for the
RC2 tagging.
Just opened a document in Writer and, as I expected, it displays the document name at the top of the window. Like Word, like WordPerfect, like pretty much any word processor I know. Iirc, WordPerfect added "(unmodified)" or something like that after the document name until you actually changed the document.

Dunno how easy this would be to implement, but can't you make the code that tracks whether the save button should be enabled, update the document name as displayed in the top of the window? It's also nice because it tells the user at a glance whether the document is the original, or a modified version. Actually, isn't this almost exactly the way you know whether the document is read-only or not already?

Cheers,
