... and in fact I did expect it, and then forgot about it. My two copies of k3b are stepping on one another in my home directory. Apparently it only happens if they're trying to create an ISO file at the same time. I'm going to call it quits for tonight after I get to 50, so I'll live dangerously for the moment, and run the second one under a different user tomorrow.

There are several good reasons why I use simple, non-interactive scripts whenever I can. One is that they don't give you nasty surprises about what files they're using.
