[scribus] Save Not Setting Saved Status

[JLuc]

Here is maybe an answer :
the probleme is about the same as with undo.

There are sOOOOooooo many actions that change the doc... and ALL might not rise the flag.
So the danger is to believe that the doc has not changed, and to let the user lieve without saving,
when it actualy has changed, unoticed by this flag.

(But is there no unique low level interaction API with the data structure ?)
