In a freshly patched Karmic, usb-creator-kde does indeed set the LBA
flag on my 2GB USB data stick.  fdisk(1) prints the partition table as
follows:

Command (m for help): p

Disk /dev/sdf: 2002 MB, 2002747392 bytes
62 heads, 62 sectors/track, 1017 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 3844 * 512 = 1968128 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x00094c11

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdf1   *           1        1017     1954643    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)

Command (m for help):

Not that it does any good: my Dell Inspiron still prints "Boot error"
when I try to boot from the pen drive.  Unfortunately, the Dell doesn't
have a "USB Mass Storage Emulation Type" option, and so I'm left unable
to boot from the pen drive.
