 It's really creepy to run Colors and then have the machine start watching
 you for no obvious reason!  Why does a "paint" program need the camera?

 I was eventually found the "camera" icon under the "Paint" tab; but it
 just takes a single snapshot whenever you press it.  The camera should
 only power on when the user clicks the camera icon, and should then
 immediately power off -- for power savings as well as to reduce the
 creepiness factor.

 I also found a button called "Video Paint" but it doesn't seem to do
 anything.  (And it has the same magnifying-glass-minus icon as the icon
 next to it, which isn't called "Video Paint"...??)

 I seem to be using Colors version 3 (it's hard to tell whether that's a
 version number, in the Home list view, or something else).
