Bug Description

Binary package hint: cheese

Steps to reproduce:
1) Make your camera unavailable (e.g. unload the module or unplug the cam).
2) Open cheese. It will show the red sign saying the no camera was detected.
3) Press "Take a Photo".
4) When the countdown finishes, the program crash.
Of course I don't expect it to work ;-)
But I wouldn't expect it to crash; the button had to be disabled. Or some joke be presented :-P
