It is too late really to be switching defaults like this but if we are
switching, I would really prefer Brasero as it is being included by
default in the GNOME live cd and has been default in other distributions
for a while and has received much more testing than the alternatives
(except for k3b which we aren't going to include).

Media writing is such a common task but tricky to get right. Unless
there is substantial testing done on it, I am opposed to the idea of
switching to xfburn especially this late. I fully appreciate the
sentiment behind using Xfce apps but the tools under goodies aren't
necessarily mature and in the past has had serious issues.

I have no problems with including Midori as a alternative but we should
generally avoid including more than one application for a particular task.
