Bug#698437: cheese: Cheese can't record video

[Kees de Jong]

Package: cheese
Version: 3.4.2-2
Severity: important

I'm using a Logitech C920 webcam, a modern webcam. Every time when I try to
record a video with Cheese it crashes. I tried all kinds of supported
resolutions, same crash result.

Below is an output from the command line:

to a GtkToggleButton, but as a GtkBin subclass a GtkToggleButton can only
contain one widget at a time; it already contains a widget of type GtkLabel
