I don't think this message is being sent. The Fedora online help clearly 
explains how to write using the default gnome tools.

One of the most common complaints about Linux is there are too many ways 
to do things.

The Fedora KDE live-cd has k3b on it. It's kind of nice to have the 
option to try either desktop then decide to install your favorite on the 
hard drive.

I'm not a power user, I had to google to see all the various problems 
people were having with reading and writing on various hardware and 
software platforms to learn how to deal with them.

My experience differs from yours. Last year about 1/8 writers I tested 
had issues requiring firmware or software updates before they would 
reliably burn using...anything.
