I forgot to add that on the Cheese reference page... 
https://developer.gnome.org/cheese/stable/cheese.html
...under "Invocation: cheese takes a list of options as arguments: Options:" a 
command line switch is documented that supposedly permits selecting the video 
device... 
"--device=DEVICE, -d DEVICE    Use the supplied DEVICE as the video capture 
device."
...but this has no effect, and even when entering a nonexistent video device 
(or random characters) no error message is returned; apparently this 
functionality is missing. 
I've tried all permutations of video device, ex- "/dev/video#" and just "video#"
