Thank you for your bug report, that could be done in g-s-d indeed, do we
have a rational on why cheese should be recommended?

- our default im client support video calls so the webcam already has an use without installing cheese
- cheese is in universe and not well maintained in Ubuntu, do we really want to recommend something we don't maintain?
- what if the user has something similar to cheese already installed (I didn't check but I guess the archive has other softwares that let you play with a webcam and take photos)

** Changed in: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Connecting a webcam for the first time does nothing

Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
