Review request for Calligra.
Description
-------
AFAICS any calligra app potentially crashes during query close.
The reason is a notification issued in KoDocument::saveFile() which results in an async dbus message.
The reply to this message can be received (timing dependent) during deletion of the dbus conection in which case it will crash.
I propose to just remove the notification as I cannot see a use case for it (unless saving a file takes a looong time)
Also it is only activated in Sheets (where it is still called KSpread, btw), no other app uses it.
So the patch removes the notification from KoDocument::saveFile() and removes the sheets.notifyrc file from sheets.
This addresses bug 297822.

Testing
-------
Well, hard to test, but I found that running plan under gdb triggered the crash most of the time (ymmv).
With patch applied I have not seen a crash yet.
Thanks,
