AFAIK, you can't. "Multisession" is done as extending the file system within the single session. There is only something non-standard like multi border DVD-R. The appendable status for DVD-RW simply means there is no lead-out yet (but the one and only session exists), DVD+RW doesn't care for legacy lead out, so it's "complete". Here is just a recognition "status", Brasero will use real info anyway.

There is an issue with Brasero however (will file a bug after more investigation): I can't write an iso to a fresh formatted DVD-RW RO disc (failure), but I can burn a compilation (success). Once the initial session is complete ("blanked" reset to "blank" by the patch or just rewrite) I can burn an iso. Strange indeed...
