Actually this problem is not application specific or computer specific as I have been to reproduce it on an Asus F3JC and on a Medion MD42230 with cheese, skype and a webpage using flash to use my webcam. I am not a developper and do not know which package are concerned but I would bet on webcam drivers rather.
