Maybe it is. I'm using F10 too.
And thanks for the link. I don't think my problem is the same as yours but it got me looking at other F-spot bugs and #426735 got me to tail my .xsession-errors file while turning the camera on. I get this:

F-Spot  0.5.0.3 - (c)2003-2008, Novell Inc
Personal photo management for the GNOME Desktop


Usage: f-spot [options] 
Options:
-b -basedir PARAM   path to the photo database folder
-? -help -usage     Show this help list
-i -import PARAM    import from the given uri
-p -photodir PARAM  default import folder
-shutdown           shutdown a running f-spot instance
-slideshow          display a slideshow
-V -version         Display version and licensing information
-versions           Display version and dependencies informations
-v -view            view file(s) or directory(ies)

which suggests that there is a bug in whatever script tries to start F-spot. Could be using an invalid switch? Is this HAL or udev rules?
