I will try out the test later tonight. It does seem that the same device is trying to be controlled by multiple methods, however. I can say that I've been able to burn successfully (without rebooting) by using growisofs directly, and that ejecting the "empty media icon" that appears on the gnome desktop (even though I told it do nothing automatically) and reinserting the DVD has caused no lock-ups, either. It seems to happen only when using GUIs... which makes me wonder if part of the problem is the control that Gnome is exercising over the device.
I have noticed, at the very least, that I have what looks like four (or five) different device names in /dev for the same device: /dev/dvd, /dev/cdrom0, /dev/cdrom, and /dev/sr0 (what Gnomebaker uses to burn an ISO image to DVD), (and possibly /dev/cdrw -- I noticed that one exists, but haven't seen anything try to use it. ... Then again, I haven't been burning CDRWs, either.) Also thinking about booting into fluxbox and see if using K3b poses problems that way.
