GnomeBaker won't blank mounted CD-RW

Hi,

After my upgrade from feisty to gutsy on my imac g3 , I tried to burn a cd with k3b and gnomebaker and I get similar problems. K3b has the following error message which looks similar:

Actually, my info has nothing to do with the fact that the cd is mounted. I'm making a new bug report.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 RC or later?

Nope, it's fixed in Intrepid.

NO! This problem seems NOT fixed in Intrepid.

k3b seems to be unable on my jaunty laptop to write or erase any cd-rw.
cd-r work fine.
