Bug Description

From support request:
=====
I have burnt a data CD-ROM and some files were corrupt. Then I found out that Nautilus doesn't use BurnProof by default even if it is available for my device. I had to enable BurnProof by setting the /apps/nautilus-cd-burner/burnproof gconf key.

Why is BurnProof disabled by default? Wouldn't it make sense to check if it is available and then use it by default? I.e., set the key to "true" by default and only fall back to "false" if the device doesn't support it?
======

The changelog for nautilus-cd-burner v. 2.11.4 mentions enabling this by default. Between 2.15.1 and 2.15.2 a bunch of code was merged and during this merge, the change from 2.11.4 was lost. The fix in 2.11.4 was kludgy anyway (hardcoded use of burnproof), so I propose the attached fix (set the the gconf value to enable) as a resolution.

I'd rather use debian/nautilus-cd-burner.gconf-defaults for that - also I'll try to find out why it's not turned on by default upstream.

Sébastien just told me that upstream is going to use it for data, but not for audio and that there's an upstream bug open about that.
