Yeah, I know that's the theory.  But it fails at the moment that
burning should commence unless I lauch it with a sudo command.  I've
only tried it with previously used CDRWs, though, and I'm hoping that
this thread has just explained what's going on.  The same CDRWs worked
a couple of weeks ago with an earlier Ubuntu installation on the same
PC.
