If I remember correctly, wih k3b, you needed to run it the first time
as root in order for you to be able to use k3b as a user,  I had the
same problem a while back when I installed k3b, i tried to do the old
su- install and afterwards I could burn anything.  So I uninstalled
k3b, logged out logged in as Root and then did the install.
