Hi Bastien, you left gnome cd master out ;)

http://cdrdao.sourceforge.net/gcdmaster/screenshots/cd_to_cd.png

The reason that "Bus, Id and Lun" are still there is that I was waiting 
for the gnome2 port to remove them, because I'm changing other parts of 
UI too.

"Vendor and Model" should be a simple "Device" or "Burners", so that I 
can remove the frame around the table.

So you end with a simple:

+-------------------------------------------------------------------+
|    Readers (or Burners)                        |     Status        |
+------------------------------------------------+-----------------+
|     Yamaha CRW8824E                        |      No disk     |
|     Asus CD-S500/A                             |      Ready       |
+------------------------------------------------+-----------------+

I just prefer a list (which will almost never get too large), because 
you get more information.

Anyway, I don't expect gnome cd master to be include in gnome-media, as 
it depens on gtkmm (and cdrdao).

Perhaps someday the Development platform will include full C++ support. 
We will see.
