The first time this happened (sometime in Dec, as I recall), if I was prompted as I was today (that the document had been changed and did I want to save it), I would have just saved it--and only noticed later that it was no long password-protected. Today, sensitized by the previous experience, I looked before saving and saw that the "save with password" was no longer checked.
If LibreOffice is somehow changing that setting accidentally (i.e., there's a bug somewhere), I'm not sure a notification system would solve the problem. I'm going to do some experimenting and see if I can pin down exactly when it happens--assuming it's not somehow random. (I don't use hibernate or suspend, since for some reason Fedora 15 doesn't recover my graphic display when I do so, so when it had occurred it has been with a shutdown.) Thanks.
