Hi Hans,
nice idea, I was thinking about same app some time ago (about time I gave you 
that crap camera at FUDCon in Brno as it was only semi-usable after brightness 
corrections).

It would be nice to expose Dbus interface and thus let it desktop agnostic for 
example with proposed default Gnome UI but it allows for example Qt based UI 
(which for example we prefer in Fedora KDE). And why I'm writing this? It 
would be nice to incorporate it to our (hopefully soon) proposed Dbus Fedora 
system configuration interface as it would be more higher level than classical 
API.
