If you can, get yourself some CD-RW and file bugs. I don't see what
nautilus-cd-burner would be doing differently from xcdroast in terms of

nautilus-cd-burner uses growisofs as well, and burns directly to DVD
with the latest versions. I'm not sure how n-c-b would work any
differently from growisofs on the command-line.
