[gentoo-desktop] K3b can't find source CD to copy

[Lindsay Haisley]

K3b used to be my best CD creating and duplicating app, but today when I
tried to do a CD copy the program apparently wouldn't recoginze the source
CD for copying.  I can see the CD-R unit (Sony CD-RW CRX230E) with diskinfo,
and this unit shows up as the "CD Reader Device" in the CD Copy dialog,
however the Start button in this dialog is disabled and nothing I do seems
to enable it.  If I start k3b from a cli prompt, I get a dozen or so lines
of "k3b: ERROR: (K3bDevice::Device) Unable to do inquiry." although this may
have no bearing on the problem.

I also have CD-Roast, which has no such problems, but is a much messier and
less well engineered app, so I'm hoping someone can help me get k3b back on
track again.  It _used_ to work just fine!

I'm running k3b on top of gnome, but this seems to make no difference.  Same
result if I run it in KDE.
