Thanks, H.J.
Right now I'm a little reluctant to plug in my camera again, because
it makes my 10.1 completely unusable. If nothing else shows up, I
may have to, and will let you know.
lsmod doesn't show anything about a camera.
And yes, KDE + Gnome + ICEwm + Windowmaker all runs amok after a
camera is plugged in. This is driving me crazy.
