[Bug 848340] Re: Brasero can't select DVD drive to burn image

[Robert Roth]

** Description changed:

- When trying to burn an image brasero doesn't allow to select the drive
- (the drive appears on the list, but it can't be selected).
+ [Impact]
+ When trying to burn an image using brasero (or selecting the drive to write to using libbrasero from any application using it) doesn't allow to select the drive (the drive appears on the list, but it can't be selected), thus making writing a DVD/CD impossible, which is a major regression from the previous releases.
+ [Development fix]
+ The fix has been committed upstream at GNOME, see the commit [1] in GNOME git imported in launchpad as revision 3422 of the brasero master branch [2]
+ [Stable fix]
+ Applying the changes from the commit mentioned above to the 3.2.0 version retrieved with apt-get source from oneiric fixes the problem.
+ [Test case]
+ Right-click an ISO file and select Open with Brasero Disc Burner, with a Blank Disc in you CD/DVD+-RW drive, and try to select the drive to write the ISO file to. Before applying the patch, you will not be able, the combo will remain empty even after selecting the drive, but after applying the commit, you are able to select the drive and write the iso file to it.
+ [Regression potential]
+ I am not aware of any potential issues.
