** Description changed:

+ [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
