can't apply any effect in Cheese 3.10.2

[rpr nospam <rpr nospam gmail com>]

Hi!

I have an issue with cheese 3.10.2 on a system with Linux Mint 16
amd64 (which uses repositories for Ubuntu 13.10).

In cheese I see the video stream from camera and I can take photos but
I can't activate any effect:

(1) click Effects to show the grid with effects
(2) click an effect (e.g. Flip) to apply it but nothing happens - the
cheese doesn't return to normal view and the effect is not applied

Has anyone seen this issue before?

Packages:

$ dpkg -l | grep cheese | gawk '{print $1,$2,$3,$4}'
