Jeff,
Thanks. Yep I am running gnome. Running gnome-volume-properties shows
that blank cds are disabled. However, if I put one in (cd/dvd) they
show up being handled by nautilus-cd-burn-whatever-comand. What I have
here is a failure to communicate.
I'm going to stroll over to bugzilla and see if it is there, if not file it.
Thanks.
