Bug Description

1. While logged in, connect an external webcam, or turn on an already-connected webcam.

What happens: Nothing. (Disclaimer: I haven't actually tested this.)

What should happen: Cheese should open.

I suggest adding an option to Cheese's Preferences, on by default, to "Open Cheese when I connect a webcam". This does not mean it should open because when you log in to Ubuntu; only if you connect or turn on a webcam after logging in.

(See also bug 508659. The equivalent behavior for scanners is bug 916006.)

I suppose this is incomplete until the actual behavior is known. In the meantime, this would be nice, setting for wishlist.
