I have another 'itch' with k3b iso dvd burning in _f13_:  the default 
.iso location is one that I used once and is now empty.  The one that I 
use regularly is offered as the alternative but I haven't been able to 
get it promoted.  I suppose I could edit the config file, but I've just 
lived with the 'feature'.

This is the offered default:
/home/John/Downloads/RHEL6.0-20100622.1-Workstation-x86_64-DVD1.iso

and this is the one that I want to burn:
/mnt/f10store/myth/arctmp/isos/mythburn.iso

(Just in case it's a sorting problem.)

I see it's using wodim now, although in the fairly recent past I think 
it was growisofs; maybe that was f12. No real reliability problems.  I 
always verify the burn.
