Andy Whitcroft ,
I tried it with the kernel 2.6.31-12.40 ,i dont get too much delay , maybe ~10sec more , but all the problems described in the bug description [processes affected] still exist.

I'm beginning to wonder if this has something to do with grub too? maybe the grub detects the camera as a USB and causes these problems : $lsusb gives >
Bus 001 Device 003: ID 046d:0892 Logitech, Inc. OrbiCam

This is the same problem when i boot into the Windows partition , the camera is detected as a usb and Windows is also not able to access the webcam. It keeps saying close the program which is accessing the camera , but there were no processes using the camera.
This did not happen when the mbr was the boot loader ... [may sound silly ;) ] [but for a brief moment when I had installed Win7 the camera worked but after i reinstalled the grub this stopped working ]

Any advice how to debug this [seemingly impossible theory] ?
