I am really a noob, but my webcam wouldn't work under ubuntu 8.10 as well. Until i tried:

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

whatever application u need it to run - delete skype and set name there. worked for me. good luck.
oh, and btw: don't close the terminal, because the allpication will shut down as well ;-)
