Actually my workaround is based on wodim readme to set wodim as
suid-root application.

Default installation of /usr/bin/wodim is owned by root.root and
permission is 755.

I make a group dvdburners, and put my non-root user account as a
member of this group.
Then :
chown root:dvdburners /usr/bin/wodim
chmod 4710 /usr/bin/wodim
reboot

After reboot non root users can use the DVD with k3b

Hope this help.
