However, making k3b the default for a gnome only install is no good, and neither is doing the other way around. I would like to see k3b and xcdroast used respectively for kde and gnome only setups as default. Nautilus cd burning is almost as useless as Windows XP Explorer integrated cd burning... its a nice feature to point at and say 'ooh looky there'. When burning a cd it is usually worthwhile to do so with a well featured and configurable app. Using nautilus builtin burning should be the option for the 'I know this is simple and don't mind all defaults operation' situations. -- Andrew Farris, CPE senior (California Polytechnic State University, SLO) fedora@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx :: lmorgul on irc.freenode.net "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
