Bug Description
When I use lsusb to display the detected usb devices this is what I get:
=======
Bus 005 Device 003: ID 145f:0142
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
=======
The first line refers to my webcam, it doesn't appear when I run lsusb with my webcam unplugged. All I get is the 8 digit number with a colon in the middle. No vendor/type information. I would expect something such as "Trust. Webcam" to be displayed as well.
btw: Cheese 2.24.2 can take snapshots.
