Stretch *that* far? Is it any far at all?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but *any* program in linux that claims to burn CDs is 
actually a frontend to cdrecord. 

If this is right, it should be as simple as including a proper parameter in 
nautilus. I would even put it into the source and recompile, if I found a 
command-like variable in it, but maybe I didn't search too well in the source 
files (I am using Edgy's version).

I not only know k3b, but in fact love it. I would love more nautilus-cd-burner 
if it would let me do the simples thing as drag & drop files without having 
to open any kind of special interface beforehand, and still be able to repeat 
the process with other files, in another ocasion. Similar to what is done 
in /that/ another OS. One gotta agree that this was a nice idea. I stress my 
belief that it must not be any difficult to implement, by anyone who has 
taken the time to read the code that interfaces cdrecord. 

Actually, I  initially suspected this was a FAQ, but I am starting to think 
otherwise.
