Archisman: Groovy is not released, so requesting an SRU for it does not
make sense. Technically, requesting an SRU for Focal doesn't make sense
at the moment since the problem is not fixed in development release
(Groovy). It is up to Ubuntu devs to do that. I've done as much as I can
here.

Title:
  Cheese  does not show preferences/options/menus to non-GNOME Users

Status in cheese package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in cheese package in Debian:
  New

Bug description:
  [Impact] 
  Cheese no longer displays its menu button on non-GNOME desktop environments.
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/-/issues/62

  Xubuntu uses cheese as its default camera program. Advanced users can
  still change these settings through dconf-editor, but this is neither
  convenient nor intuitive.

  [Test Case]

  Use the cheese program in Xubuntu/xfce, Kubuntu/KDE or other non-GNOME
  desktop environments. Notice missing menu in titlebar.

  [Regression Potential]

  The most likely regression would be if the patch disabled the menu in
  GNOME. Testing has not shown this to be an issue.

  
  [ORIGINAL REPORT]
  Cheese has removed the GUI method of accessing preferences for non-GNOME 
users.
  
https://github.com/GNOME/cheese/commit/48882da6a6dc4fc1c19e15f5210c9e10feb67ff5#diff-b2b45275b16940829b5f6f068943108d

  I'm not sure if upstream cheese devs care enough to fix it:
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/-/issues/62
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cheese/-/issues/52

  Should Xubuntu default to a different camera program, such as
  guvcview?

  (Partial?) WORKAROUND is to use dconf-editor:
  dconf-editor /org/gnome/cheese
