Ok; No luck with X11 redirection either, and now it segfaults. The
following is from my run attempt of cheese under gdb:

The program 'cheese' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
(Details: serial 77 error_code 11 request_code 132 minor_code 19)
(Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error()
function.)

This machine is hereby being demoted to Ubuntu 12.04 32bit (though with
xfce rather than gnome) .... fingers crossed :-)
cheers,
Ralph.

Hi Ralph,

Well, as far as I can see it's a problem with the X server software
rather than anything else, or the particular collection of packages I
got on that installation. It happens with both cheese and skype, which
are the things I've tried, while guvcview fails to run completely, with
the note "Fatal:g_thread NOT supported' (a different problem).
Perhaps you would you be able to direct me to a better place to lodge
this, if this is the wrong place?
as this bug also occurs with cheese, I've reopened and reassigned it there.
Thanks for your help in tracking this error down!
Why should a problem in skype be a symptom for a cheese problem? We
rather re-assign that to general or close it again. The bug report is
not really useful as is.
