Ok, let's compare this to the Apple burner UI (not their strong point,
to be fair).

To create a new data disk, other than the integrated "export" functions
in iPhoto, iTunes, etc. you need to:
- Open the Disk Utility
- Create a new image of a certain size (will show up on the Desktop)
- Drag'n'drop files using the file manager in the disk utility
- Burn the image back in the Disk Utility

What do you think of:
- when blank CD/DVD is inserted, popup non-spatial nautilus window, with
the sidebar tree rooted at CD/DVD creator
- remove CD/DVD creator from the places menu
- Add a "Master and burn CD/DVD" application entry in the system tools
menu

Would it make the task smoother? This is why I asked for use-cases and
workflows, they're not just for show, they're useful.
