Cool, needs a little HIG love though :)

- Alerts shouldn't have any titlebar text
- Bold text should be in 'newspaper headline' style, so "File '%s'
Already Exists" (with no trailing punctuation) would be shorter and more
appropriate
- "Replace Existing File" (should be book title case) could just be
"Replace"
- It's not immediately clear to me what "Select Another File" (should
also be book title case) does... select another file for what?  The more
standard "Cancel" would probably be clear enough, IMHO (although that
could be mis-interpreted as cancelling the whole Save operation, so a
better term would still be useful).

(Oh, I see some of this is already covered in the bug report; have added
the stuff that isn't.)

Cheeri,
Calum.
