Is this a complaint about the nautilus cd burner capabilities or are you
just not aware of them? Its not meant to be a highly complex burning
application, but to be usable for people who are not aware of the
details about cd writing. 

To burn a iso file: right click on it and pick "Write to CD..." in the
menu. Then select CD writer and click on the write button. From the
command line you can just run "nautilus-cd-burner <iso-filename>".

To create a new CD, select "Go -> CD Creator" in the menu, or enable
magicdev and just insert a blank cd. Then drop the files you want into
the window and click on the cd writing icon in the toolbar.
