I'm assuming Arson is a cd burning program. If you edit /etc/groups (iirc) 
you should be able to enter your user name on the end of the line that 
refers to either scsi or cd-burning (it's been a while since I did this). 
You'll need to logout and back in again for this to take effect.

And I'd like to recommend k3b as a burning program for KDE. It's 
fantastic!! Burns iso and bin/cue, as well as audio from mp3 *and* ogg 
vorbis, and even burns vcds!!! Now if only I could get neverwinter nights 
to run in linux I wouldn't have to reboot into windows at all! :-)

Sandra.
