I have finally just now tried what you suggested. My first problem was lack of a cdimage to burn. After some googling I discovered for the purpose the genisoimage package which was already installed in my box because k3b depends on it. So first I created the cdimage by running genisoimage -v WQ2009 -r -o WQ2009.iso (I think) - From the googling I also discovered that mislabeling IDE drives can cause errors. I checked them and discovered that both /dev/hda (the CD-DVD drive) and /dev/hdb (the Iomega 750 mb zip drive) were slaves; so I changed the hda to be the master and leave hdb as the slave. I must say that the hda change had no effect on reading CDs and DVDs; I could read both as before. I could also continued read to and write from the zip drive as before. I then ran, as you suggested, with one change: wodim -v -multi speed=2 dev=/dev/hda WQ2009.iso which returned the following: d...@sol:~/mine$ wodim -v -multi speed=2 dev=/dev/hda WQ2009.iso wodim: No write mode specified. wodim: Asuming -tao mode. wodim: Future versions of wodim may have different drive dependent defaults.

Line 15 and below of the message contain the error message which I do not understand. I added the -multi option in the hope that I would not render unusable any more CD disks beyond the four already so rendered. I found first that Konqueror opened the CD and listed the directories and files, but I when I tried to open the files all I got as a blank page. I then tried to see what would happen in K3b. Clicking on the icon to import a previous multisession into the current project worked, and the projects window showed all the names of the directories and of the files which were ostensibly burned. I next tried to move one from the upper to the lower window one of the files in the lower window list. I was then asked whether I wanted to overwrite the file listed but not in fact there. I answered yes and K3b did so. I would certainly appreciate it if you could explain to what the error message means and what I need to do to be able to burn disks again.
