No change to new default-dir in FileOpen, when FileSave can't save in that dir

(cleaning up my intray - this is the public version of the previously Sun-internal issue 93187. There's no reason to keep this internal. Citing relevant parts of the original descirption below.) - create a directory without any rights for the normal user ( only 700 for root ) - try to save a file in that directory => you got a message, that the file can't be save - press OK - close the file - try file/open => you get a messagebox, that the directory can't opened, it is the dir without any rights from saving It make no sence to change the default-dir for the file-open-dialog, when saving is broken in that dir. FS: this is not easy to fix. Unfortunately, we have one central place to remember directories for the file open/file save dialogs, and this place does not know anything about other places which really do the loading or saving. This means that in the dialog, you only enter a path to a file, the path is remembered, and the complete file URL is transfered to some other place where somebody else tries to save. This fails, but there is no chance currently to tell the first place to _not_ remember the path now (but instead fall back to the previously remembered path). This would require quite some work. Additionally, there are situations where you have only read permission for a folder, but no writer permission. In such a case, it may be valid to change to this folder afterwards (not sure about it).
Reset assigne to the default "issues@openoffice.apache.org".
