I use a logitech quickCam Express:Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:0870 Logitech, Inc. QuickCam Express
I have run updates, installed gspca-source, tried LD_PRELOAD...and other workarounds suggested in this thread.
Camorama works for me. I cannot get skype or gyachi to work. Both programs recognize the device. Skype will dump if I try to launch the cam. Gyachi reports the device does not support capture.

 ~$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so gyachi

(gyachi-upload:8715): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_widget_set_size_request: assertion `height >= -1' failed

 ~$ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so skype
