My usb connection to FC6 is not being detected automatically,
What do I do to check where my problem is.
First job if nothing is happening is to find out the USB ID of your
camera and google on it with "Linux" in the search.
If you do
tail -f /var/log/messages
and plug the camera in, look for something with the USB vendor:product
ID in hex, eg, 0ABC:1234 mentioned.
Some webcams are supported by Fedora but most need an out-of-tree driver.

It seems the camera is detected but what device is used to connect to
KDE graphics [Picasa etc] and to bring it up automaticaly.
