#1225: Camera activity and Etoys conflict with each other.

 Reporter:  jg               |       Owner:  erikb  
     Type:  defect           |      Status:  new    
 Priority:  high             |   Milestone:  BTest-3
Component:  camera-activity  |    Keywords:         
-----------------------------+----------------------------------------------
 If you start the camera, leave it running, go to the user page, start
 etoys, etoys just puts up a blank window.

 If I kill the camera activity, I can restart etoys (though there is a
 delay before the first screen appears).

 The rule for camera use *has to be* if you are not the visible appliction,
 you *must* close the camera device!!!!

 If Etoys is left running, and you start the camera, the camera activity
 exits with no indication of trouble.

 So I think *both* activities are guilty of thinking they can own the
 camera all the time; instead, when not visible they must close the device.
 Unfortunately, I can't assign more than one component....

 Please, fix this and only this bug ASAP.  I hope/expect there will be
 another stable build before the trials really get going, so rapid action
 to fix this single problem would be appreciated.
