9.2 can not burn cd as user

I have changed permissions on everything I could and there is no writing to the same\ cdrw which worked in 9.1 on the same computer with identical hardware configuration. All references I could find in saved messages and on google indicate there is a mythological program called k3bsetup. kpackage, pin, yast and which DO NOT find it, no matter how I spell or hyphenate it. is k3b broken out of the box?? -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/
