Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: brasero

Lots of people can't find Brasero disk burning application, because they look for such tool in 'Accessories' submenu,
rather than in 'Sound & Video'? Brasero is multifunctional, and when you want to burn or copy a data (e.g. photos, documents, software) CD/DVD, you don't think of music.

I've done several usability tests - the majority of people, who tried to write their photos, documents (or other data) or tried to duplicate CD/DVD disk firstly looked at "Accessories" submenu.
More than 60% of unexperienced GNOME users didn't find Disk burning application at all - they looked at "Accessories", then at "System Tools" and "Office" menus and didn't find needed tool :(

I'm suggesting to *keep* "Brasero disc Burner" in "sound&video" submenu
and *additionally* *add* into "Accessories" submenu - then disk burning
software will be easy to find and all people will be happy :)

This can be easy solved by adding added Utility; to the Categories= line
of brasero.desktop.in.in file.

There are several bugreports in GNOME bugzilla about this problem, look
for example at GNOME-bug #481812
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=481812) or Ubuntu brainstorm
idea #6445 http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/6445
