Bug Description
Binary package hint: nautilus
Dragging an image onto a disk almost always means that the user wants to burn the image to the disk, rather than creating a filesystem with the .iso as a single file. nautilus should detect this case and offer to burn the .iso directly to the disk, and explain what the difference is. ("If you are unsure, you probably want to say yes." or similar)

I think this feature request properly belongs to nautilus-cd-burner. I've seen people affected by similar problems, and this might be a good way of avoiding a usability minefield (and a lot of coasters).
