Strange, I'm using K3B 0.11.20 here with cdrdao 1.1.9, cdrecord 2.1.1a01-dvd, 
dvd+rw-format4.10, growisofs 5.21, makeisofs 2.1 and haven't gone into root 
to burn anything. I usually burn the files from my slave drive, very seldom 
files on my home partition. Acccording to the menu, the command issued is 
kde, so what gives? Have I an old version, why don't I need to go into root 
to do this? 
The machine was running 10 which has been upgraded to 10.1 and now LE.
