Thanks.  I can't check her laptop at the moment, but I have made some 
interesting discoveries.

As I said originally, I had set k3b to not eject.  With this set, CDs and 
DVD+RW disks do verify, but DVD-R disks do not.  Mostly they just hang at the 
50% with the verify not starting, but twice k3b has crashed at that point.

I've reported it on the Mandriva bugzilla.  I wonder whether anyone else will 
confirm that the type of disk is relevant.
