[Bug 63547] The cd burning dialog can be closed, and does not ask for confirmation

[Vincenzo Ciancia]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus-cd-burner

As in subject, I hit ALT+F4 with focus on the wrong window, the cd
burning dialog instead of the nautilus file manager window, in the
middle of the burning process, and I lost a DVD (so a little amount of
money). When doing something non-reversible such as stopping writing to
a DVD, confirmation MUST be asked.

=== A comment about the current gnome situation ===

Ok, I was burning my FIRST non rewritable device with Nautilus. If
someone is wondering why I say "FIRST non rewritable", it is because
every time I test gnome again, I discover so many small bugs and crashes
that I never feel like trusting a gnome application for something
serious. I know, as an experienced user, that a badly designed burning
program can waste my money ruining burned cd, and also my time.

After having installed Ubuntu 6.10 again, after a week of intense usage,
it looked to me like gnome is becoming trust-able, and trusted it in
writing a non-rewritable DVD. I was just plain wrong. Heck, was it MY
fault, pressing alt+F4 on the wrong window? Of course, but why does k3b
ask for confirmation? I bet also windows programs do that! Come on, if I
write a file system, I am supposed to be really careful when saving file
data, and if I write a cd burner, I am supposed to be really careful in
not throwing away a dvd without asking for confirmation first.

The problem is, that this "gnome is broken" feeling cannot go away from
my head. I will keep on using it (not nautilus-cd-burner, of course, for
now) because I really like it. Will try to report all bugs I find, and,
really, thanks to the ubuntu team for having fixed them all, I am really
impressed. I didn't pay for that, and you worked for me so hard, that I
feel obliged to try to do my best to help ubuntu.

This comment is really non-constructive, sorry, but I think it's better
to leave it here. I use to recommend linux to friends and even my
mother, but I cannot recommend ubuntu+gnome yet, even if it is so faster
than the others, and so much more usable at first sight. I would really
like to be able to recommend it. Will keep on reporting bugs I find :)
