Brasero is definitely broken and it is not broken just on openeSUSE as my research over the Web has demonstrated: Ubuntu,Arch,Fedora... all suffering from same error related to this:
** (brasero:3023): WARNING **: Failed to inhibit the system from suspending: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files sequential) W blank
Wonder how a broken package went included into a final distribution, aren't there testers/checkers of the bundled software?
openSUSE has autoQA that test lots of core functionality. Submissions to add new tests I'm sure are welcome, but if you need a DVD drive to test I don't think that is available in autoQA.
Beyond that each package has a maintainer and each maintainer should perform basic tests for each package they maintain at a minimum.
In addition, this last summer (2014), the pre-release "factory" distro had thousands of users so there should have been a lot of general purpose end user testing going on.
The reality is that for little used apps testing is easier said than done, especially if one person is the maintainer for 100's of packages. Triply true if it is something in a dependency that changed and broke the higher level app. The build system itself will report any packages that won't build so that won't get into a release.
The best thing any of us can do to ensure the quality of the releases is to keep a tumbleweed install running somewhere and test out the applications we want to ensure work in the next major release.
