Well, I was trying not to offend the xcdroast fans.  ;-)

That's why I asked on the list first.  If the response was
overwhelmingly negative, or I got 15 responses that application
DiscIncinerator is ten times better, I'd probably think better of filing
a gcombust request with bugzilla.

I notice that Gnome Toaster is already included in "more system tools"
and am burning new Severn CD's with it now.  Perhaps I'll like it
better?
