as root, I get this line:
** (brasero:5190): WARNING **: Couldn't connect to accessibility bus:
Failed to connect to socket /tmp/dbus-glFFqgrC4R: Connection refused

and the window says "No disc available" and advises me to replace it with a
supported CD or DVD.

My /tmp directory is actually surprisingly bare: only 1 file and one
directory.  The file is empty and bears the name config-err.XX0Zh3
The directory has the name .xfsm-ICE-75900X but is itself emtpy.  There are
a few dotfiles, but they seem related to ICE or X11.
