Effects in Cheese on F15

[Dave McNeill]

Hmm - I thought it was just me at first. I tried on the following platforms:

- Dell Optiplex 755 with USB webcam (F15, x86-64)
- Dell Latitude E6410 with built-in webcam (F15, x86-64)
- Asus Eeepc 1000HE with built-in webcam (F15, i386)

All exhibited the same problem - when selecting an effect, cheese crashes.

So I though I'd report my issue via ABRT (see bugzilla link below) - turns
out I was the 17th person to report the same issue (that was back on 24th
June - about 1 month after release). Now, a total of 38 reports have been
filed (one wonders how many are suffering this issue who haven't configured
ABRT to file to RH Bugzilla). The latest was yesterday. In my estimation,
that is badly broken.

The greatest pity is that I persuaded my son to have F15 on his Eeepc as a
replacement for Windows. The selling point was that Cheese was just like
Photobooth on the Mac.

Still, if it works for you...
