USB Camera in Skype in Ubuntu 10.10

    I've connected a basic USB webcam. It seemed to work correctly, but in Skype it didn't start showing anything. It's detected by lsusb as Microdia:

$ lsusb 
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0c45:612a Microdia PC Camera (SN9C325)
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub

To see that the camera it's working correctly (has modules installed), I used cheese (sudo apt-get install cheese  and then Applications->Sound and Video->Cheese Webcam Booth and I see myself:). 
The workaround to work also in Skype is to specify some libraries at start, in the LD_PRELOAD environment variable. If I run Skype with:


sh -c 'export XLIB_SKIP_ARGB_VISUALS=1 && LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype'


I got image, so I modified the command to start the program (Right click on Applications Menu, Edit Menus and edited the command for Skype).
