Anne,

Open the bug report and post the BZ here.
I'll CC myself and help you. (If you'll need my help ;)).

Oh, I'd suggest you also file a BZ in bugzilla.redhat and post a link to
the upstream bug. (Just so people won't generate duplicate BZ')

BTW, does your webcam picture freeze from time to time when you open the
"device" tab in the Kopete properties?
