Hi all!
In case some of you fall into this trap, too: k3b fails to burn cds/dvds with an error message about missing privileges for cdrecord. Reason: wodim needs raised memlock limits. By default they are at 8192, wodim needs a bit more (~128000), so adding this line to /etc/security/limits.conf will do the trick:
* - memlock 128000
