Is there an application in FC4 that will permit the making of a still
picture with a cheap USB webcam?

You can use camE. it takes picture and upload it to where you want and
all in background.
Camorama and camstream are two developed apps just for that purpose.
GnomeMeeting can take snapshots too, as you were said yet.
Also, xawtv can do that, if launched as "xawtv -c /dev/videox" where "x"
is the number for your usb webcam device. Then just hit Ctrl+J when
you're ready...:-)
There are several other apps that can manage a webcam, but here we'd
talking about video streams...

I am still trying to make this webcam work but without much success.
The computer apparently sees it but the applications I have tried don't
and I haven't found much documentation. I have two devices connected to
the USB ports, the HP scanner works ok with FC4 but not the camera.

CamE starts and dies apparently because it's not seeing the camera:

GnomeMeeting reports that no video device is found.
I also installed "camstream." It runs but displays no video either. It
appears that
I have something misconfigured but I don't know what?
Any thought as to what I've missed or done wrong?
