My Logitech QuickCam Communicate STX also stopped working when upgrading
to Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex. However, the preload hack worked for me --
maybe the following is useful for someone else. It's especially tricky
since I'm running a 64-bit Linux version and skype is still 32-bit.

sudo apt-get install lib32v4l-0 libv4l-0
(to have both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.)

For camorama:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so camorama

For skype:
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib32/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype

Maybe a simple wrapper script for skype could be added to medibuntu?
