Disable AutoPlay of Blank CD or DVD media
Ubuntu will automatically launch a CD burning tool when you insert a blank data cd or dvd. This can sometimes interfere with something else you are doing right at that moment.
To disable this, navigate to System \ Preferences \ Removable Drives and Media:
Uncheck the box, and you will no longer autoplay blank discs.

More recent version of Ubuntu (and Fedora), circa 2010:
There is no longer a System>Preferences>Removable Drives and Media option.
Instead, open the File Browser, Edit>Preferences and choose the “Media” tab.
Under “Other Media” select Type “blank CD disc” and action “Do Nothing”. Close
