The software i use is chrome (or firefox - same issue) with flash plugin 11.1. Nothing out of the ordinary. Can't believe there's something wrong with that!

I have the same problem with Unity 3D. I'm using Chrome and Firefox with flash plugin 11.1 and I can't click to allow or deny webcam access into flash plugin like ustream.tv or many other sites.
When I use XFCE it works fine, but with Unity isn't.
