[Bug 918256] [NEW] User photo glitch for unsupported webcam ubiquity (precise)

[Jon Mirow]

Public bug reported:

I noticed this on a Samsung NC10 netbook that usually has out of the box
support for it's webcam, so repeated on my desktop that doesn't.

It affects the step during installation where a user is given the chance
to take their own user photo using their webcam.

It seems that if a webcam is unsupported, the box where the video
captured by the webcam should appear continues to display the
information that was in that space from the previous screen. This may
also happen for supported webcams as my webcam was working post install,
but not during the live environment.

I assume the space should have either been blank, black or presenting
some data about "no webcam available".
