I run kopete 0.12.7 in KDE 3.5.10 (only for tests, normaly I use Pidgin)
and Settings-->Configure-->Devices brings up the picture from
/dev/video0 created by webcamd; note: the device is created as:

$ ls -l /dev/video0 
crw-rw----  1 webcamd  webcamd  0x7e Nov 29 12:33 /dev/video0

and you must be in the group 'webcamd' to open it for reading(...)
