[Bug 483708] [NEW] Impossible to open a session file

[Nikolaus Filus]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: brasero

This is similar to #321899 and the two referenced upstream bugs. Feel
free to re-assign if necessary.

After upgrade to ubuntu 9.10 with brasero 2.28.2 burning of iso images was not possible. Clicking "Burn" simply does nothing and fails silently. It offers to save a log, which cannot be saved! Starting brasero from shell reveals the error message:
      ** (brasero:10307): WARNING **: Impossible to open a session file
Problem could be solved by selecting a different location for "Temporary files".

Bugs:
1. Preset location was "/media/New Volume" which does not exist and /media is not writeable by normal user.
2. brasero fails without a message to the user (in GUI)
3. Description "Temporary files" is misleading: I want to burn an image where the option "Burn selected image directly without saving to disc" is explicitly preset and read-only!
4. If this is for session log, use $XDG_CACHE_HOME or similar automatically
