On my system, in the same condition, nautilus just says "unknown error
while creating the image"  however, apart from the fact that it should
burn on-the-fly IMHO, it should at least evaluate free space available
before attempting to create the iso, letting the user wait etc., and in
case there's not enough space, ask the user where to save the image.

Done this way, and I think this is a serious usability bug, to anybody
not experienced with gconf-editor (which I launched just to check if
there is a "image directory" option), it looks like nautilus does not
*NEED* an image directory (I don't expect ANY program to create a 4gb
file in my system before asking me first) when burning. If it needs, the
user should be informed.

I know, this would break the outstanding simplicity of the burning
process a little, but why promising what we don't deliver? I repeat,
when I first pressed the "write cd" button, I really didn't realize it
was going to write a temporary image somewhere! And I am an experienced
user, so when I saw "error writing image" I wondered "eck, does it
really WRITE an image somewhere?" then launched gconf-editor and
modified the setting - I don't expect my mother to understand what's
going on at all in the same situation.
