In my experience, I would recommend K3B to burn the CD. You will need to be root in any case if you are at the latest kernel (2.6.8) to burn CDs.
Not necessarily true. X-CD-Roast has a wrapper that will work some sort of setuid deal, and, in the past, has had a setup option where you could specify which users could burn CDs, other than root. Additionally, if that wasn't in place, I've always been asked for the root password. I suppose that, in that case, root effectively runs the process, but I didn't have to be logged in as root, first.
