Good point though pretty minor bug. I reported it upstream. Closing as won't fix, i have no intention on providing a patch for this. Out of curiosity, you can't use libburn on your setup ?

I can - I discovered this whilst enabling libburn with gconf-editor. Just out of curiosity, since libburn is a package requirement, why are the libburn keys not set to true by default? And I'm still not sure whether checking the cdrdao_disabled key enables or disables it (I'm guessing enables).
I reported it to sf (and it got noticed), but it's probably better to file on bugzilla.gnome The gconf issue is interesting. And thanks for pointing it out because i had not noticed it (no doughnut for me, as the packager i'm supposed to know). I thought the decision to use cdrecord versus libtool was strictly a compile-time one, but after looking at the code it is not the case. You are right that it will use cdrecord and cdread by default, and only use libisofs/libtool if any of the libburn gconf keys are set. I now have to make a decision whether the time has come to "flip the switch" and migrate it to libburn by default... Maybe for fc-7 ?
