I have recently (yesterday) upgraded from 9.10 to 10.4 Beta 1. I just installed Cheese and it crashed after about 5 seconds. The problem was that mplayer was open and the same time and "reading" the webcam ie I had run the command "mplayer /dev/v4l/by-id /usb-0402_USB2.0_Camera-video-index0" and that was still running while I tried opening cheese. Shutting down Mplayer fixed the problem and Cheese is working now. So the problems seems to be that Cheese throws a segfault when accessing a camera that is already in use.
