Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Creative Webcam problems

gnomemeeting is hashed means that there is an in-memory DB of programs 
that is refered to for quicker starts so the path doesn't have to be 
searched.  I've never taken the time to figure out how it works, but I 
know it's there.  usually a control-c will clear it or barring that 
start a new shell.  It will have a fresh hash.
