[Bug 916036] [NEW] Connecting a webcam for the first time does nothing

 

Public bug reported:

1. Connect an external webcam for the first time, while all these are true:
    - you are logged in
    - Ubuntu Software Center is installed
    - Cheese is not installed.

What happens: Nothing. (Disclaimer: I have not actually tested this.)

What should happen:
* A "Camera Connected" dialog appears: "You have connected a camera. Would you like to install software for taking photos and videos with the camera?"
* If you choose "Cancel", the dialog disappears, and you don't see it again.
* If you choose "More Info", the dialog disappears, and Ubuntu Software Center opens to display information about Cheese.

I'm told gnome-settings-daemon is the appropriate place for this code;
please retarget if not.
