I have the same problem with Syntek webcam:
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 05e1:0501 Syntek Semiconductor Co., Ltd WebCam, Chipset DC-1125 similar to 174f:a311 - Asus F2F, F2J, F3J, F3T, G1, Z53JA

2.6.27-7-generic #1 SMP Fri Oct 24 06:42:44 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux

cheese:
  Installé : 2.24.1-0ubuntu1
  Candidat : 2.24.1-0ubuntu1

May be related the bug 203767. Do you have high cpu load?
Can you give the link to the gnome bug report?
It is possible that it is a kernel problem not a cheese problem?
