** Description changed:

- The cheese application produces a corrupted display under Ubuntu 22.04
- with a Logitech C525 webcam. When started from the command line, cheese
- produces repeated warnings of the form...
+ Impact
+ ======
+ The cheese app is unusable with color bands showing in the main view.
+ 
+ Test Case
+ ========
+ Install the update
+ Run the cheese app
+ Verify that the main view shows what your webcam can see normally.
+ Click the camera button in the bottom toolbar area.
+ Check if the photo looks normal. You can find it in ~/Pictures/Webcam
+ 
+ What Could Go Wrong
+ ===================
+ Only 4 apps in Ubuntu use clutter-gst: empathy, cheese, lyricue, pinpoint
+ 
+ clutter-gst has been archived by GNOME. (It's recommended for apps to
+ use GTK4 instead of GTK3 + Clutter). That means it's not possible for
+ this patch to be accepted upstream. Instead, distros like Arch Linux are
+ applying this patch.
+ 
+ This patch removes 2 renderers that don't work (RGBx and BGRx) but still
+ keeps ones that do work: RGBA and BRGA.

  There may be a timestamping problem, or this computer is too slow.
  
  Adding /etc/modprobe.d/uvcvideo.conf
  
  with 'options uvcvideo nodrop=1' doesn't solve the problem. This issue
  is not seen in either Ubuntu 21.10 or under Fedora-Workstation-
  Live-x86_64-36_Beta-1.4. The problem in Ubuntu 22.04 occurs under both
  Wayland and X11 displays with the Nvidia drivers.
