Description hellhound6 2009-09-07 23:58:10 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian stable Packages

I am running Kubuntu 9.04 with KDE 4.3.1 and kopete 0.70.90.  I have a Logitech Quickcam Communicator STX webcam that I have working gyachi and cheese, however the webcam does not work with kopete. 

I get a black window output and any webcam invite requests I do not see and any webcam invites i send are not seen by the other person.

When I run Kopete from the terminal I receive the following:
hellhound@two-of-borg:~$ kopete
