<pre>Overriding the lock file should be done only when the previous process has not
ended gracefully, right? Don't think we want to take over the work from other
users- in this case we open readonly or as a copy.
Open readonly in local mode shows an infobar where the user can enable the edit
mode. When opened as a copy (aka inserted from file) it shows the save dialog
on ordinary save actions. Sounds like the usual way for me.
Rather than renaming a message that nobody care about we should tweak the
workflow. The (technical) question remains how to deal with the lockfile from a
terminated process. Can you evaluate this status safely anyway?</pre>
