I just jacked in a USB webcam on my Ubuntu desktop machine and I was wondering if any of you guys use a USB webcam in Linux? If so, what do you use in Gnome or KDE to interface with the webcam?
I checked "dmesg" after plugging in the camera and here is what I saw:

I am using this on a Ubuntu 7.04 machine BTW.
