Ah ha! the videos dir was the culprit. ;)
AFAIK, In the default install, there is no UI for changing the XDG dirs.
By default, All the XDG dirs are set accordingly, though I'm not sure why the
video dir was set wrong.
Cheese just looks for XDG_PICTURES_DIR and XDG_VIDEOS_DIR , the videos and pics
dir by default are set to
XDG_PICTURES_DIR="$HOME/Pictures"
XDG_VIDEOS_DIR="$HOME/Videos"
It is very uncommon that a user would want to change this, and in cheese we can
change the defaults using "gconf-editor" to change /apps/cheese/video_path or
/apps/cheese/photo_path.
Noting that GNOME, especially for 3.0, does not like too many prefs in the UI
confusing users, I would not expect this exposed in the cheese prefs. We could
forward this request upstream, but the chances of this being exposed are slim.
:)
Closing the bug, do re-open if you want the settings exposed in cheese
prefs.
