Your webcam probably isn't at the default /dev/video0. Try $v4l-info /dev/video0 to see what's at /dev/video0 and $v4l-info /dev/video1 to see what's at /dev/video1 You can keep querying /dev/video devices until you get the right one for your quickcam. Make sure that the usb device was found as well. usbtree can be used, I think. You can also browse /proc/bus/usb to see if it's there. dmesg is your friend as well as /var/log/messages. once you found your webcam's /dev/video? location, you can probably override the v4l device that's used by gnomemeeting or GIMP. For example, using xawtv, I have to do $xawtv -c /dev/video1 because my tv card driver was loaded after my webcam was.
