is nautilus-cd-burner broken?

I have nautilus-cd-burner 2.12.1-0ubuntu1 but it's not working as usual.
I think it's mixing up burning an iso (disc image) with making an image
of a disk.

But first, usually when I put a blank writable CD in my CD writer drive
it comes up with a 'select file to burn to disk' dialogue, no idea the
exact wording. Now nothing shows up, if I right click on an iso
nautilus-cd-burner starts a 'Write to Disk' dialogue. The following
setting come up, and none of them can be changed:

---------------------------------
Information:
	Write disc to: File image
	Disc name: Ubuntu 6.04 i386
	Data size: 639 MiB
Write Options
	Write speed: Maximum possible

After Writing
	Eject disc
---------------------------------
Yes, I'm trying to burn Flyer 4.
I'm not sure if 'File image' is what usually comes up. Shouldn't it be
'Disk Image' or something? Name and size, i assume, are fine. But with
write speed, I usually screw this down to about 10x just to be extra
safe - speed options have now simply gone.

If I actually click on the 'Write' button I get a 'Writing Files to
Disc' dialogue and a 'Choose a filename for the cdrom image'. That
_must_ be wrong. But just for fun I clicked 'Save' and lo and behold ...
absolutely nothing happened (I told it to write to a vfat partition, but
that shouldn't make any difference)
