Description of problem:
Logitech Orbicam (046d:0896) only works with Cheese when cheese is started multiple consecutive times. To my totally untrained eye it seems that the wrong video device is created/released.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.35.6-43.fc14.x86_64

How reproducible:
Start cheese, quit cheese, start cheese again, quit again etc. Continue this until the cam led lights up and the cam starts working.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. modprobe -v gspca_vc032x
2. start cheese - green led on cam does not light up and no images from cam
3. stop cheese and start cheese again (cam led may light up & cam may work) or stop cheese again and start cheese again (cam led may light up & cam works)

Actual results:
Cam does not work when cheese is started for the first time

Expected results:
Cam led lights up & the cam works

Additional info:

Steps I did to reproduce this with output. Please note the messages were gspca creates video0 but releases video1 or creates video1 and releases video0 when cheese is terminated (and the cam did not work).

Manually insert gspca_vc032x
