With the new patch applied, does the list of available recording speeds
change?  Are you still able to blank the disk?

Yep, I got your email on the MPEG thing.  Thanks!

Wow, this is good feedback.  Yes, the new code is supposed to emulate
the "users" option in Linux's fstab.  To be accurate,
/usr/home/mezz/cdrom is owned by you, and vfs.usermount is 1?

Some things should be populated under the Device tab.  Adam mentioned
some things about traceroute as well.  I'll have to look at those in
more detail after my initial patches are committed to gnome-network. 
Thanks for the feedback.
