I downloaded k3b from universe (I wanted full CD burning support)
and I ran into the problems everybody runs into w/.ICEauthority.
However, I came across a decent solution (that does not require running
from a root terminal. I created a new menu entry (right-click on a menu
in GNOME and then click Entire menu-Add new item to this menu
I input k3b as the application name and gksudo /usr/bin/k3b as the
command. I then selected the k3b icon as the icon. This allows me to
launch k3b from an icon, after inputting my password. Also,
.ICEauthority is not harmed this way.
P.S. k3b should be considered to be added to "main" in the next release,
because many people would like to burn music CDs and do more advanced
things with CDs that Nautilus does not allow for.
