I think so as ohphone is affected as well.

In fact, this way works :
- power up the cam
- launch GnomeMeeting
- power off the cam
Now GM just displays the last image display by the cam, which is relatively
good from an end user point of view.
- power up the cam
After a few seconds, GM re-displays the video flux providing by the cam.
So the problem just occurs at the initialization of the firewire part of pwlib.

Of course!
But I think Georgi is subscribed to this list.
