In time, you learn some workarounds. For example: when burning a  
rewritable disc that already has some old files on it, I start the  
burning program first, and only insert the disc when requested to do  
so. If I insert the disc first, it will get mounted by another  
user-session, and I won't be able to erase it. Even logging out all  
other users won't help ...

Let's just hope squeeze does away with those funny lenny idiosyncrasies  
...
