i sincerly mark this bug as +3 obvious....
however its not as easy, would i ship a desktop environment to computer
illiterate users, i would not provide them with nautilus cd-burner by
default, rather go the k3b "i am familiar with windows cd burning
programms" tour.
nautilus cd-burner has its shortcomings - one of them is the fact that
starting it presents you with an unresponsive and not much feedback
giving stale pale and empty window. nautilus is a filemanager, and cd
burning support while nifty, does not merge well with its user
interface. there are apps yet in developments (see= coaster) that
provide us poor open source gnome desktop environment users with
something that a human may finally call a user friendly app to simplify
the tedious tasks of mkisofs and cdrecord kama-sutra.
lets just hope that they get up to speed, compared to k3b so that we can
finally have some nice interface for cd burning as well.
