Nick pointed out in another post that this is contrary to the Gnome HIG and
it requires reading the text to answer correctly.  He suggests that the
accept/yes should be _Save to indicate what should be done.

This agrees with the example save alert given in the HIG which has:

"Close _without saving", "_Cancel" and "_Save" as the buttons.

The HIG also points out that the question should be in the primary text, the
secondary text is for extra information.  So I suggest that there be no
secondary text and primary text be "File \"%s\" was not found on disk,\ntry
to resave?"

Cheers
Lex
