I have been using the KDE version of Mint 9 since it came out over a year ago, & I haven't had any of these problems with it. Maybe the GNOME version of Mint 9 has more bugs?
Also, I'm very careful when I burn optical disks to burn that at a slow speed (4x), & always have the burning software check for burn errors. I love KDE Mint 9 & look forward to using the next long term support KDE Mint (which will probably be Mint 12).
