Use K3b then you can ignore the warnings or "OK" them away & proceed with
the operation of the K3b Disc Burner. However, I agree with you that a fix
should be given a high priority. I had this problem in Linux mint 14 but
I'm now upgrading to Linux Mint 16. I'll let you know if this bug has been
fixed in the new release.
