Some news. I found out that xfburn depends on libburn, so I recompiled 
libburn, too. Now xfburn seems to work (could blank a disk, write an ISO 
image, write files to a disk).

As for k3b (which I would prefer), nothing changed. Only I found that 
when I insert a disk before launching k3b, it finds the drive as 
read-only. Now the popup window says:
No CD/DVD/BD writer found.
K3b did not find an optical writing device in your system. Thus, you 
will not be able to burn CDs or DVDs. However, you can still use other 
K3b features such as audio track extraction, audio transcoding or 
ISO9660 image creation.

In Settings > Devices dialog, "Writers" are shown as "none", and 
/dev/cd0 is under "Read-only Drives". There are blank squares against 
"Vendor" and "Firmware", and "Error" against "Write Capabilities:".
