You're comparing apples with pears here ... xfce can run any X 
application, and as a matter of fact, it can even run non-X applications 
(yes really).

Your question is better suited for k3b-users or #gnome even, it has 
nothing to do with xfce.

If you want to know how to compile stuff yourself then read the INSTALL 
file that is packed with almost every source tarball. Be dangerous.

I use plenty of cd/dvd writing applications, most notably cdrecord 
itself and xcdroast, k3b...
