Prompting is the default.  When you check the "Do not ask again" box it 
makes a note of it.  I thought that this would be in the MIME type file, 
but it is an entry in: konqueorrc.

	askSaveapplication/x-tbz=Yes

Note the lack of a delimiter between: 'askSave' and 'application'.

and the logical sense of it seems backwards to me.  I don't know what would 
happen if you added a line like this but with: "No" for something that you 
wanted to be prompted for.  But, removing this line will make it start to 
ask you again.
