Myself, I've had no problems burning anything without K3B. With XFCE I 
use Xfburn. My beef is when a single application demands an entire 
desktop be installed. Whatever happened to the spirit of "Ubuntu" where 
some citizen in a third world country, with a 14.4 connect via a party 
line, has to download 70 megs worth to get a single application? I can 
see pulling in QT libs though. Ric
