Damien,

I tried to run it as root and as another user (thinking maybe some lock 
file had shown up)
when this first happened, and again later after reboot and the same 
error message shows up.  I was not
aware that Gnomemeeting worked with other applications, so I haven't 
tried that route. 
As for the module, that may be the problem I have to deal with.  It 
baffles me why
Gnomemeeting would just stop working, without a reboot or any other OS 
changes.  I
reinstalled everything from Gnomemeeting to the camera driver, in the 
same way that
I originally installed them, but to no avail, same error. 

I was curious whether such an error message could be caused by a driver 
problem.  Some
have suggested that it didn't sound like an error that would show up 
because of the driver,
and that it had to do with my OS.  I can't see how the OS could be 
involved, since all permissions
are fine and it did work for a short while.  I may have some module 
cleanup to do.  I just thought
I would throw it out into the forum to see if anyone else had heard of 
such a thing. 

Thanks for your attention.
Sincerely,
Tracy
