The whole point of notification area on Brasero is to make user able to
hide the dialog (very common on big media like dvd's and bd's) and see
the status on the notification area and then receive a notification when
the media finish burning.
Yes sometimes we are abusing notification area but the user should be
able to hide the notification area icon.

PS: I'm the Luis from Brasero. Our name is close but not the same.
