Bug#639680: webcam control LED is lit, but cheese show no image; cannot take pictures.

[Rares Aioanei]

Package: cheese
Version: 3.0.1-2
Severity: normal


My camera is a Microsoft LifeCam, which works with other applications
(mplayer, for example). However, starting cheese results in a grey area
where the images from the webcam should be. Program is still responsive
and exits normally when using the window's 'x' button or alt+F4.
Using XFCE.
