Thanks for the suggestion Rupert (and Julian, Ryanne, David, etc), but I've found the "Toggle Camera" control in iShowU. It places a nice window in the upper right but seems to be lacking a bit in options...resizing, etc.

If you record the QT video of you first, and play back it in the screen while you record the screencast (instead of recording your face simultaneously) , you can get rid of the QT controls by going to Window > Show Movie Properties > Presentation > Movie Controller Type: None Although I can't vouch for this if you've upgraded to Snow Leopard, as they've changed QT totally now.
