As a regular user I see no devices under settings/configure/devices. As
root it recognises the CD writer...

Agreed - I don't want to change these either!

I am running k3b on a remote FC3 system, with the X server on a FC2
system via ssh. Shouldn't matter I hope.

Do the following errors have anything to do with this?

kbuildsycoca running...

<the following lines appear after closing

Thanks your help,
