When I put a blank CD-R in the drive, after several seconds an icon
labeled "Blank CD-R Disc" appears on the desktop.  Is there some
command-line way to recognize this?

I am trying to make my CD-burning shell script more foolproof.  If I
start the script too soon, the call to /usr/bin/cdrecord bombs out
with a message about "non-writeable disc".  I think this really means
that the system hasn't gotten around to noticing the presence of the
blank.  If I wait until the icon is visible, then there is no problem.
