In saveAs() you mean?
Good idea.

KOffice does it before hand, in KoMainWindow, with code like:

        bool bOk;
        do {
            bOk = true;
            ... create KFileDialog ...            
            if(dialog->exec()==QDialog::Accepted)
                newURL=dialog->selectedURL();
            else
            {
                bOk = false;
                break;
            }

            if ( newURL.isEmpty() )
            {
                bOk = false;
                break;
            }          

            if ( KIO::NetAccess::exists( newURL ) ) { // this file exists => ask for confirmation
                bOk = KMessageBox::questionYesNo( this,
                                                  i18n("A document with this name already exists.\n"\
                                                       "Do you want to overwrite it?"),
                                                  i18n("Warning") ) == KMessageBox::Yes;
            }
        } while ( !bOk );

(and then saving if bOk)

The point is to keep asking, if the user selects a file that already exists,
so that he can choose another file.
