Hi Ken I checked for root-owned files but - though I had more than I thought - none seem to have anything to do with k3b. The output from the k3b's error log is : ==================================== System ----------------------- K3b Version: 0.10 KDE Version: 3.1.4 QT Version: 3.2.1 cdrecord ----------------------- /usr/bin/cdrecord: Warning: not running as root user, fs= option ignored. scsidev: '0,1,0' scsibus: 0 target: 1 lun: 0 /usr/bin/cdrecord: Permission denied.

Any ideas? By the way, I've been a SuSe user since 5.3. So you outrank me - just. Best wishes - Ken
You didn't by chance ever run it after a su to root did you? This would have put files into your home directory owned by root. You can verify this by running ll -R|grep root in your home directory and seeing if you have any results. If you do you need to change the ownership to you first.
