If you could happily use a GUI instead of the CLI k3b as delivered with
Fedora makes this work for you.

Would be great, indeed. Perhaps you should make RFE in bugzilla? (there
is no appropriate component available, I suppose, therefore against
Fedora)

Did you manage to work it out? What did you do? I'm getting constantly
verification errors (FC3 and FC4), but the burning is (in most) cases
ok.
