This is not what I'm seeing.  GnomeMeeting reports "Error while opening
video device /dev/raw1394" "can't open the video device"

What is odd is that a strace shows that GnomeMeeting doesn't attempt to open
the device!

> strace gnomemeeting |& grep raw1394
lstat64("/dev/raw1394", {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0660, st_rdev=makedev(171, 0), ...}) = 0
lstat64("/dev/raw1394", {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0660, st_rdev=makedev(171, 0), ...}) = 0
lstat64("/dev/raw1394", {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0660, st_rdev=makedev(171, 0), ...}) = 0
lstat64("/dev/raw1394", {st_mode=S_IFCHR|0660, st_rdev=makedev(171, 0), ...}) = 0
access("/dev/raw1394", F_OK)            = 0


Any ideas?  Some debuging mode I can turn on?
