Tim, I know my Philips webcam was cheap, but it used to work with 
GnomeMeeting.  The picture was clear and the colour not too far out.  IIRC 
with FC4 I had no problem with the picture either, though I never got the 
sound part right.  With FC6 it is unusable.  I don't know whether it's the 
webcam or pwc.
