A suggestion which has worked well for me under any kernel is to use
sudo. Where K3b asks for tools, just preface them with "sudo". Configure
sudo to use no password for cdrdao and cdrecord, and drop the suid bits
on those files. For a user named "tim", root uses visudo like so:
tim ALL = (ALL) PASSWD: ALL, NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/cdrdao, /usr/bin/cdrecord
