In the future, please bump the release and add a changelog entry when you make 
changes to the package, also during review. 
 
Before setting StartupNotify=true, be sure that it's indeed what you want:  
http://standards.freedesktop.org/desktop-entry-spec/desktop-entry-spec-latest.html#recognized-keys  
I guess it would be correct to omit StartupNotify altogether here (unchecked).  
  
Tested the app on two additional FC4 boxes (one i386 with a DVD/CD writer, and 
one ppc with just a regular DVD/CD reader), both crash at startup the same way 
as the laptop mentioned earlier.  However, I noticed this: 
 
$ ls -la /dev/dvd* /dev/cd* /dev/hda 
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    3 Oct 21 22:25 /dev/cdrom -> hda 
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    3 Oct 21 22:25 /dev/cdwriter -> hda 
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    3 Oct 21 22:25 /dev/dvd -> hda 
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root    3 Oct 21 22:25 /dev/dvdwriter -> hda 
brw-rw----  1 root disk 3, 0 Oct 21 22:25 /dev/hda 
$ dvdisaster

No CD/DVD drives found in /dev. 
No drives will be pre-selected. 
 
...so, no crash when the DVD/CD writer device is owned by root and running as 
a regular user.  dvdisaster says "no drives found" though.  But after changing 
the device ownership to the normal user and trying again, no other changes: 
 
$ ls -la /dev/hda 
brw-rw----  1 scop disk 3, 0 Oct 21 22:25 /dev/hda 
$ dvdisaster 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
