Yes, it starts fine now :o)

I am not the only one, someone else on the list said he has the exact
same problem. So I must file a bug, but really don't know where to file
it in Ubuntu bugzilla.

What is "preview" mode ? I only have "capture" or "overlay" mode.
Overlay is not good, as it uses the CPU a lot. Capture mode uses zero
CPU time (well, when it works ie, like in XawTv for example).

I tried starting Zapping from a terminal, but there is no error message
whatsoever, so no clue there :o(
