What I was trying to say is that I replaced my CD burner with a DVD
burner.  The CD burner  & K3B (0.11.15cvs) worked with all users.  Of
course, I chose to install K3B when I installed SUSE 9.2.  The problem
is that, now that I have changed burners, K3B only recognizes the new
burner when I am logged in as root.  This means that, I need to give
the other users the correct permissions.  Since Fred dropped me a line
with his approach, I'll try it and see if it works.  If it doesn't,
I'll come back with more questions.

Blessings,
Don
