Compare the warning that users get when reversibly 'drop'ing a wallet through the wallet UI, vs permanently overwriting the wallet through the WX file chooser when 'create'ing a new one.

Add to this that they likely don't even remember making 'default.gaju', and that the default name for the new file is also 'default.gaju', they could end up having to decide whether to permanently delete their mining wallet or not... on the basis of a generic "overwrite file?" popup they've probably clicked through a hundred times when handling word documents.

The default name should probably be properly uniquified, and ideally overwritten files should be detected by GajuDesk and totally disallowed, (make them explicitly import and drop the wallet, or navigate there and delete the file themselves, or just give up and leave the tiny file there for recovery later) or followed up with a REALLY scary warning message, so that they understand that that file is way more important than the menu entries that points to it.
