Is $SUBJECT what making a coaster looks like?

CPU is Core2duo E7600 3.06GHz.

Source: DVD made from standalone DVDR with TV tuner on DVD-R finalized on
PATA /dev/sr0

Destination: blank Verbatim DVD-R (CMC MAG, AM3) on SATA /dev/sr1

Other than selecing source and destination, and deselecting create/delete
image (aka on-the-fly), I used only defaults, resulting in (auto) writing
speed 22713KB/s (16.49x) in the upper pane. Target media is one of last dozen
or so from spool of 100 several years old that I remember no previous trouble
writing to.

After more than 10 minutes since last screen paint I moved the focused copy
window off its parent window, and only the focused window painted. After more
waiting, I switched to a tty and found the following:

Whether any of those actually belong to the TDE session I dont' know, but I
don't seem to be able to locate any other tmpfiles for it. Because/ and /home
are different partitions, the identical sizes and timestamps between the two
directories looked fishy to me until I noticed that
/home/loggedusername/.trinity/cache-hostname/ is a symlink. So, one question
I have is how to make the desktop user tmpfiles live in /homeloggedusername/
someplace instead of on /.

On return to desktop, none of the K3b windows would repaint, so I force
closed K3b from Kicker. Then I cleared /var/tmp/, which brought space used on
/ from 97% to 88%, available 1K blocks up to 588973, and got rid of all the
big files in /home/loggedusername/.trinity/cache-hostname/.
