K3b wodim Cannot raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK limits

Assigning to k3b package (didn't see a package for wodim).

Wodim comes form the cdrkit source package.

i am pretty sure if you try as root there will not be any problem !

burning operation is a typical costly operation( writing to a block devices is slow ) .
Also it's kinda real time operation as buffers needs to be flushed immediately(reading from the file and flushing/burning
to a cd)so the process requires higher priority at any cost which is best done by a process started by root .

so in my view if you do that as root , like sudo k3b and then try the burning operation it should work.

Version: 1.91.0 (using KDE 4.4.3)
OS: Linux
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages

This problem occurs with kde 4.4.2 and 4.4.3. I also have this problem when running k3b as root.
I don't have this problem with kubuntu 8.04.

K3b failed writing multisession project - kubuntu 10.04 with kde 4.4.3

Writing DVD-R in incremental mode
Using wodim 1.1.10

cdrecord has no permission to open the device
You may use K3bsetup to solve this problem
