Rationale
ubuntu should have a webcam control panel app where would be possible to set configurations like brightness, colour, exposure, etc while we are using the webcam in any application.
maybe some effects too.
This should not be too hard to implement. At least the gspca kernel module offers an interface in
/sys/modules/gspca/parameters
where one can set gamma and rgb values for the cam. What it would take would be a graphical interface for that. So far it only works when restarting the webcam applications - so maybe it could be integrated into cheese and the like or we'd need something like a dbus-signal to tell them to refresh.
