Given that cdrecord has been replaced by wodim, perhaps we should be talking about wodim instead. If we are already looking at wodim per
    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=390083
then references in the dialogues need to be patched as well.

At the moment k3bsetup is asking for my root password and then telling me it's not right. In the past it appeared to succeed with the su, but still failed to actually change the permissions on /usr/bin/cdrecord.

Setting /usr/bin/wodim suid stops k3b from trying to fire up k3bsetup, but it doesn't find the drive, and is thus unusable. Gnomebaker seems to be working fine.

I argue against removing k3bsetup as most, especially new, users will have trouble adding themselves to the cdrom group, let alone finding out that they need to. Perhaps k3bsetup could, perhaps optionally, add the user to the cdrom group instead of setting suid on the binaries.

k3b Version: 0.12.17-2+b1
wodim Version: 5:1.0~pre4-1.1

regards
Mark
