I was just looking through my X log file to see that the nvidia driver I installed from rpmfusion was actually being used, and I spotted this in the log:

I don't see no keyboard on my webcam :-).
Has someone got an experimental image processor layer that looks for your hands in captured video frames and reads sign language?
Has it got a button on it? IIRC those are configured as if they were keyboards, and they send special keysyms when you press the buttons thereon.
see (e.g.) http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/30/658
In other words: yep, that's normal, nothing to see here, move along..
