Bug Description

I want to take a time-delay sequence of photos with a delay greater than 10 seconds.

I opened cheese, and set the delay using

Cheese --> Preferences
Capture [tab]
Delay Between Photos (seconds) --> 15

On first launch Cheese took pictures in Burst mode with no delay or a one-second delay regardless of burst delay setting.

On subsequent launches, Cheese took pictures in Burst mode with a 10 second delay even if I put 15 20 or 60 seconds in delay time.

If I Quit cheese and restart it, the Burst Delay will revert to 10 seconds IF the value I entered is greater than 10.

Burst delay values of 10 or less seem to be retained on subsequent starts. :-)

I tried setting the delay both by typing the value and by clicking the + increment button, with the same result.
