Thanks for leading me to the solution. It turned out that the
.kde/share/config/k3brc file must have been from an earlier version. It looked
correct but apparently missed the statement:
"growisofs default=/bin/usr/growisofs"
The reason why it work for the root user was because it generated a correct file
for that user. After removing the faulty file and chown'ed a few files I was
able to run k3b from an ordinary user without problems.
Again thanks a lot,
