I have found that using the LD_PRELOAD workaround fixes my "green screen" with Skype.
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
My "Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks" 046d:08dd works fine, but my terminal fills up with errors listed below. I have no idea what this means, and only reference it here as it may assist those that appear to be diagnosing issues with Webcams.

Thank you to all for your assistance. I'm glad I can now use my cam again :)
