Match serpentine's UI

Serpentine has a very simple and easy UI, which should be matched by nautilus cd-burner. The top bar has a record, add and remove buttons and the bottom bar shows type of media and space left. The serpentine Main UI: http://s1x.homelinux.net/files/main.png Other information:
Thanks for the bug report. Indeed, serpentine is nice. However, it has a very different focus. One of our primary goals is for tight nautilus integration and not to be a full featured disc writing application.
It is nice to have integrated burning, but the current UI falls down on a couple points. 1. Right clicks are not really discoverable 2. Even if they discover the right-click, the first option is not write-to-disk, it is about the 3rd option 3. There is no way to tell how much space is left on the disk, at a glance. So, to merge the two ideas together, drop it down to one bar, with the following info: 1. A burn button 2. A size of disc 3. A used/free space indicator
Note, I am not asking for the serpentine functionality, merely that the UI nautilus-cd be changed
