I solved this by installing the hotplug package.

then a script
        /etc/hotplug/usb/usbcam
gets executed whenever you connect the camera to the usb port, which
you can configure to give you (or a certain group) permissions to
access the usb device.


I have a Kamera question too:

how can I configure Konqueror to show me (camera generated) thumbnails for
each image instead of icons?
