Well, this tool looks great for the job (didn't try actually copying the image 
yet, but I assume it works).

In my not so humble opinion only a few small issues need to be addressed, to 
make it perfect:

* The tool needs to be put in default desktop installations for 11.3

* The package lacks a menu entry/.desktop file to make it easily launchable 
via the menu - e.g. Kickoff - with clicky, clicky and a nice xdg-su/kdesu 
permission dialog.

* It seems that you _must_ plug in the usb-device _before_ launching 
imagewriter - either this should be changed, or there should be some kind of 
reminder/warning on startup if no usb-device is found.
