Graveman would be a great place to start for an improved Xubuntu (and
Xfce in general) optical disc utility. Unfortunately it's no longer
maintained (no updates or news in a year, so safe assumption).

It's confusing why Xfburn seems so neglected.<br>

wodim is in main and technically graveman is a front end to wodim
(though graveman is not currently in main) but isn't very natively
ported to wodim and therefore throws false error messages because it is
"unable to communicate with cdrecord" (which is technically true
because wodim replaced cdrecord, but its still annoying) and i don't
really know how much it would take to:
<br>
1) get graveman native to wodim<br>
2) get graveman into main<br>
<br>
I'm not entirely sure starting our own frontend for wodim is
necessarily a bad idea, but at the same time i don't know if it would
be necessary because its very possible we could direct our efforts to
either maintaining/patching another package/application and getting it
promoted to main.

I really like Linux, but I don't understand why there isn't more
cooperation while developing applications. There are almost a zillion
CD/DVD burners for *nix out there and almost none of them are actively
developed.<br>
<br>
If the developers who created those -mostly half functional-
applications worked together on one killer burner, the chances of it
becoming unmaintained are way smaller and the quality of the
applications would also be of a higher standard...<br>
<br>
The wait is for someone to fork my -until recently- favorite burner:
Graveman (maybe even rename it to Xfburn-ng ('ng' as in 'new
generation') or something)<br>
