Bug Description

When choosing maximum possible for write speed while tyring to burn a data cd,
nautilus ejects cd saying that my system is too slow for writing at that speed.
I can burn cd fine if I choose 8x speed. There wasn't this issue in Warty.

I'm using Hoary preview release with daily updates. My laptop is Sony PCG-GRX500.

can you set the gconf key "/apps/nautilus-cd-burner/debug" to get a log of the bug ?
- gnome-session remove nautilus
- nautilus
... get the bug

Do you know how to rebuild a package ? There is a ./list_cddrives in the ncb
build directory to run which is useful to debug such issues.
