Had same for me, while travelling. Would like to know the answer as
well...

It is there - I have it installed from extras-devel repo. A bit flakey
right now, but quite usable already.

Camera never actually left me disappointed - it does very good even in
darkness. Maybe I did not expect too much from it, but nothing like
above.

Works for me. If contact list is open but on bg, it switches to
Contacts app. If a contact is selected in the latter, the feature won't
work but I find that reasonable, that means that I havent' finished
with that contact. If Contact list is closed, it reappears.

But I have 41-10 so maybe a regression.
