Yes it does look like the support for extensions in some of the Linux
libraries is a bit illiterate. It would seem like since extensions are
not actually required in Linux that the library creators have not fully
understood how to handle them. Certainly notice issues with Gimp.

Hi Roxo,
You are right, I can confirm this with a very recent build of QGIS:
- with extension we ask for confirmation of overwriting
- without extension we silently overwrite an old file
It's actually an operating system (well, gtk library) issue. The same
thing happens in other apps too on that same platform.

Please file an issue (https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/issues), this
seems easily fixable.
