Comment 22 for bug 314805

I've been asking for while but nothing seems to be happening. I guess the
developers are too busy at the moment. It's a shame really as I'd be using
Ubuntu 100% of the time if it wasn't for this issue as I now have no choice
but to go back to windows to talk with my friends and family with webcam as
they only have msn. Skype is good and I can use that but no one I know has
it or even wants it.
