K3b says "no suitable writer found" if run as normal user

[Justin Denick]

Jes, the very place to look for issues concerning an upgrade or an
apparent fault directly associated with an app which we all use and

A man who keeps the answer to himself is not teacher and as such
should not attempt instruction.
