[Bug 162542] k3b and knotify compete for resources

[Reuben Firmin]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: k3b

Scenario: I have k3b open, as I wish to burn a DVD.  I put a DVDR in the
drive. The KNotify dialog pops up (what do you want to do with this
medium?) but for some reason doesn't get focus. I click burn in k3b.

Somehow the two processes compete / get almost deadlocked, and my
computer almost melts down. In syslog, there are lots of messages like:

Nov 13 16:54:10 mediabox kernel: [  990.964000] ide: failed opcode was: unknown
Nov 13 16:54:10 mediabox kernel: [  990.964000] hdc: drive not ready for command
Nov 13 16:54:15 mediabox kernel: [  996.168000] hdc: status timeout: status=0xd0
 { Busy }


I can easily reproduce this. If I cancel the knotify dialog before clicking "burn" in k3b, there are no problems.
