I do not have a solution for your problem, i'm afraid, but just wanted
to let you know, you're not alone in the headaches caused by k3b...
I'm currently having problems with the "verify" option... the thing is
that when it finishes, the DVD (or CD, whatever) gets out, but is
never loaded again... loading it manually doesn't work also... it just
waits and waits and i have to cancel it... :-( very frustrating...

anyway... good luck with that :-)

cheers,
Franco
