Public bug reported:

Cheese has removed the GUI method of accessing preferences for non-GNOME users.
https://github.com/GNOME/cheese/commit/48882da6a6dc4fc1c19e15f5210c9e10feb67ff5#diff-b2b45275b16940829b5f6f068943108d

I'm not sure if upstream cheese devs care enough to fix it:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/-/issues/62
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/-/issues/52

Should Xubuntu default to a different camera program, such as guvcview?
