I tried the brute-force hack of removing the "save" button from the crop window, but that still left me with the main window having a "save" button and the file menu of the main window having "save" accessible before "save as". I may yet remove those two "save" features.
I believe that the proper course of action with modified images in gthumb is to offer save-as firstly, and only allow an overwrite of an existing image if after the user selects overwrite deliberately. That is, it should be very difficult to overwrite an existing image with an edited image except for the existing case of images rotated without loss of information.

I see two ways of solving this problem: 1) Change the "save" button to "save as" and warn if overwriting the same name. 2) Remove the "save" button and use the "file, save as" option on the main gthumb window.
