[Bug 133461] Xfburn says "Operation finished" even when it fails

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Xfburn ver 0.2.0 - error status propagation in xfburn or maybe wodim

Create a composition in Xfburn, click "Burn composition", select a
Burning device that does not support writing (a cd or dvd read-only
device), click "Burn composition".

The dialog "Burn data composition" immediately says "Operation finished"
and no error message is shown, but nothing was burned.

A similar thing if I try to burn with no cd in the tray. It opens and
closes the tray and then says "Operation finished".

A similar thing if I try to burn 200MB onto a CD that is already almost
full. Now the drive do spin a bit, then the dialog says  "Operation
finished", but listing files on the cd the 200MB file is not there.

Workaround: A competent user may find out if the operation succeded or
not, and why, by looking at the log in "View output".

These tests is in xubuntu 4.10 tribe 4, but I recall the same behaviour
in xubuntu 4.07 which also uses Xfburn 0.2.0.

$ xfburn --version
        This is xfburn version 0.2.0 for Xfce 4.4.1
        built with GTK+-2.10.11, linked with GTK+-2.11.6.
$ wodim --version
Cdrecord-yelling-line-to-tell-frontends-to-use-it-like-version 2.01.01a03-dvd 
Wodim 1.1.6
