Public bug reported:
I think there should be a notification when you plugin a webcam.
That it say "Ubuntu has detected that you plugged in a webcam".
I just plugged in a Logitech QuickCam Express, and absolutely nothing
happened. There were no indication that it worked or were detected.
Running 'lsusb' showed that it indeed was detected though.

I am using Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" (beta).
Also, the camera does not work. Cheese doesn't show it.
