Bug#366430: gnomemeeting: wrong colors (red and blue inverted?) with my webcam

[Ludovic Rousseau]

Package: gnomemeeting
Version: 1.2.3-4
Severity: important

Hello,

Since some time I have a color problem with gnomemeeting and the video.
The red color is displayed as blue and the blue as red. So the pink of
the skin is displayed as blue :-)

The problem looks like to be in the display of gnomemeeting since I also
have the problem with the remote video. But the people on the other side
(using gnomemeeting from Debian stable) has correct colors for his local
and remote video. So maybe the bug is in a library used by gnomemeeting
to _display_ the video on my local screen.

I can do whatever tests you want.

Note:

- I do not have the color problem with camstream (camstream package) for
  example and never have the problem with camstream. It only appears in
  gnomemeeting at some time (I am using a mixed of testing/unstable).

- the camorama software (camorama package) has an option called "Color
  correction" that does the color conversion I suffer in gnomemeeting.
  camorama has the "Color correction" on by default so I have a blue
  skin by default. It was always the case with this program.

Thanks
