First of all, this is a package manager error, totally unrelated to
Xfce. You should have more luck in their mailing list and/or bugzilla.

This error is from the 'mesa' package, conflicting with the binary
nvidia (or ATI) driver. If you installed the driver from the generic
installer, then remove it, perform the installation and install it
again. Or use the distro's package.
If you use the package however, it is a packaging bug and should be
reported.

A couple of interesting gtk-based cd burners are graveman and brasero.
And there is xfburn in an early stage of development.
