I'm currently using K3b in a CentOS 5 system to write DVD isos.  It's 
more reliable than the drive in my SL6 laptop.  When the burn finishes 
you can 'Show debugging output'

Here are the first few lines.  I suppose they come from growisofs, but I 
haven't waded through the options.

K3b Version: 1.0.5

KDE Version: 3.5.10-1.el5 Fedora
QT Version:  3.3.6
Kernel:      2.6.18-371.11.1.el5
