[k3b] [Bug 382754] K3b complains about missing cdrskin at start up

--- Comment #17 from Wolfgang Bauer <wbauer at tmo.at> ---
Just to be clear here: It is not my intention to "quarrel" over whether k3b
should use cdrskin or cdrecord. Actually I don't mind personally (openSUSE does
have both), as long as it works (and to avoid a possible misunderstanding: I
have no reason to believe nor do I want to suggest that cdrskin does not work).
Although I don't see a good reason to drop support for cdrecord either. Keep
both and prefer cdrskin if you want, I'd say... ;-) 

I just wanted to note that I find the message a bit misleading, as long as
cdrecord is supported.

Also I'd like to repeat that according to my tests, cdrecord is actually
*mandatory* and cdrskin is not even used if it's installed, contrary to the
message. (for CDs at least, I don't have a DVD or BD burner to try)

Not really. As I understand the code, the line before explicitly sets it to
true on first start (or whenever k3b is updated to a new version).
Also, that would affect the whole system problems dialog, not just the cdrskin
message. I'm not sure it's a good idea to disable that by default (especially
now that the "do not show again" option works again... ;-) ).
