Can't launch XCDRoast

Scribbling feverishly on May 10, Harry G managed to emit:

The key phrase in the warning was "something like".  The example assumes
you have a group named "cdwrite" in /etc/group. The idea behind the
example is to create a group that has read/write privileges to the cd
burner, and then to add users to that group. The set-gid bit then allows
any user in that group to run the binary with the permissions of the group
owner.

Yes, use a different group

- OR -

execute

# chmod g+s <somefile>

replacing <somefile> with the name of the file(s) you want to modify
(such as, for example, the ones listed in the error message).
