Ok, but we have to do the rest too. The cancel button has to restore the old 
track again if the cancelled track was not a new track and the used changed 
it. To do this we will probably have to clone the complete CDTrack object - 
with all objects stored in it. I hope we manage this in time.

I think it is OK like this. Are there any additional configuration options 
that should be in the write dialog?
