I use the Avery 5931 (same as 8931). I tweaked the glabels template
settings for this to get it to print a bit of bleed over the edge of the
label. Here's the section from my version of
/usr/local/share/glabels/predefined-labels.template:
<Sheet name="Avery 5931" size="US-Letter"
description="CD/DVD Labels (face only)">
<Label id="0" style="cd" radius="169" hole="58.5">
<Markup type="margin" size="5"/>
<Markup type="line" x1="0" y1="166.5" x2="108" y2="166.5"/>
<Markup type="line" x1="225" y1="166.5" x2="333" y2="166.5"/>
<Markup type="line" x1="166.5" y1="0" x2="166.5" y2="108"/>
<Markup type="line" x1="166.5" y1="225" x2="166.5" y2="333"/>
<Layout nx="1" ny="2" x0="137" y0="47" dx="0" dy="360"/>
