I'm trying to use DVD-RW ("minus RW") disks in my LG GSA-4040B
drive. I can write a new disk just fine, but can't find any way to
blank or re-use a disk. When I run xcdroast and click on the "Blank
CD/DVD+-RW" button, I get "Error while blanking." Here is last part
of the dialog:

I've had similar lack of success trying to blank or overwrite using
cdrecord or growisofs. The disks I'm using are Sony 2X DVD-RW 4.7GB,
which _should_ be compatible with the drive AFAICT. The drive is
happy to write to a new disk.
I'm not using KDE, so I'd prefer a command-line or Gnome tool.
