Recommendations for gnome burning software or xcdroast help

[Ohmn]

I am a former rdhat 9.0/fedora core 1 user. With those I could simply install K3B (the gnome rpm) and I was quite pleased with K3B. I tried emerging k3b on a gnome machine and that did not work well

Gnome CD toaster does not recognize my Plextor 12/10/32A CD/RW. So gnome is really out. I emerged xcdroast and it worked for duplicating a disk. The problem is most of my cd-burner needs involve backing up files. And for the life of me I have played with xcdroast and I cant seem to get it to have a dialogue window where you can add files that you then burn. Much like all windows burner software and k3b. I am sure there is a way to do it, I just cant figure out how. Yea I am sometimes really slow at picking up on the "intuitive" nature of GUI programs

So if someone could give me a remedial lesson in using xcdroast to burn a couple files that reside in a "folder" in my home I would appreciate it. Or if there is a better solution out there I would love to hear about it. I dont want to break portage though, which is why I have not tried installing K3B outside of "emerge". Thanks

First of all, I understand what you mean by xcdroast, I still have'nt completly figured it out.
I only use it for disk copy.
For data cd I use gcombust which is very simple no bs gui.
For audio cd I use k3b.
My windows manager is fluxbox, nevertheless It is possible to run gtk and qt based gui at same time.
k3b I have found not to work to well recently using scsi emulation.
But works perfectly using ATAPI.
