Nope, because it's obviously a "place". I think I had to teach that to
my sister... I upgraded her computer recently, GNOME 2.6 got installed,
and the CD burner was gone (from her POV). In 2.4 I think this was
called "Go -> CD Creator", which actually made sense.
She also found the fact that the toolbar is gone not only annoying but
confusing, because actually burning the CD requires a "File -> Write to
CD".
And getting to the "file browser" was an exercise in counter
intuitiveness... open Nautilus, since nothing is selected, and in
particular, since no folder is selected, the "File -> Browse Folder"
option is grayed out. Selecting _some_ folder, and then selecting
"File -> Browse Folder", and then typing burn:/// in the location bar
solved most of the problem. The last thing was creating an icon on the
desktop that launches "nautilus --browser burn:///". I just gave up.
It must be blindingly intuitive, because I can't see it.
