Cheese is a gnome app as far as I know.
Someone had asked about an application to work with webcams, and I was pretty
sure that I had used cheese to check the Acer Aspire One webcam, when I first
installed F10. For myself, I rarely need this, and would be happy to try
anything else.
However try to open cheese in terminal to see if it will show any
error messages:
Open the terminal and type in the promt "cheese" and press enter. What
does it say, if it says anything?
Yes, I'd already done that. Although the symptoms are the same as reported in
the bug link Mary Ellen gave, the error messages aren't, and this is a kde-
fedora-updated F10, not F11.

I thought it was looking for glibc, but
Package glibc-2.9-3.i686 already installed and latest version
