Thanks for the patch. But I should notify you that the v4l plugin is 
considered broken by _architecture_, so it has to be completely rewritten. 
This comes from the postEvent to qt's event loop, it's not fast enough. It 
works quite well for me, though, but George says there are many people who 
experience trouble in visual quality with it.

But if you like, you can fix the current plugin, it's a start. We surely will 
keep it, the rewrite will happen as a new plugin. Our most wanted fix is the 
crash on resize... if you could find that one :-) Also, overlay is broken for 
me...

I'll apply the patch in a few seconds.

Ciao,
Dirk
