Hi,

being back again after a week, I digged my way half-way through this thread. 
I'm not quite satisfied about the whole situation but I would be fine with 
this compromise. After all, this module would contain stuff that exists in 
kdenonbeta at the moment, just moved there after it is ok for users to use it 
without segfaults :) and keeping kdenonbeta for experimental/initial 
development/development of third applications inside the KDE CVS.

Regarding those 4 (or howmany there are now) CD burner apps specifically, a 
compromise that I think would be the best is move *all* those apps to 
kdenonbeta for now. And *then* select which one is the best to take into 
kdemultimedia when one is ready for prime-time and has been chosen to be 
shipped with 3.1. This would avoid translators and developers from getting 
confused and the default shipped modules would be clean again.

Disclaimer: all above is IMHO.
