Bug#949297: cheese: cannot choose device (actually two bugs - no menu, -d doesn't work)

[Philipp Klaus Krause]

Package: cheese
Version: 3.34.0-1+b1
Severity: important

I cannot change the webcam cheese uses.

There are two ways that I should be able to do so.

1) The -d / --device option. It simply doesn't work. See
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/issues/4

2) The preferences dialog. However, at least for XFCE, there is no menu bar,
and thus no way to access the preferences dialog. See also

missing
