 this is a solution that works, but its just not user-friendly.

What is not user-friendly? The integration into right-clic menu or the
fact that user need to write its own custom action?


the integration into the right-click menu and custom actions are
great.  i meant that using a command-line tool (wodim) is bad from a
usability standpoint.  there needs to be at least a minimal gui where
the user is prompted for the burning device, then is shown a progress
bar as it burns.


 From: Mathias Brodala
  You can install Brasero for this.

 this works great.  brasero looks like it works well and integrates
 nicely into the thunar context menus.

Without doing anything, or using custom actions?


yes, brasero set up the thunar custom action itself when it was
installed -- very easy and straightforward for the user.


 if brasero were added to the thunar recommends, i would be very
 satisfied with the resolution of this bug.

I don't think this will be possible, brasero is a gnome app which brings
just too many gnome things, even for Recommends:


ok, i didn't realize brasero was a gnome-heavy app.  could a simple
(very basic) cd writer gui be quickly written using something like
libburn (http://icculus.org/burn/) and gtk only?

I would find it odd if an Xfce application recommended a Gnome application
