Just wanted to say thanks.
The OP worked for me too.
Strangely, I'd tested Ubuntu 9.04 with Wubi for a few months and the webcam "just worked" for me with Skype. Although once I installed on bare metal it didn't work anymore - until I found this work around.
Thanks again.

Awesome fix. Thanks!
Thanks a lot . Works on karmic .
Many thanks spiderbatdad.
Actually, it works also in Ubuntu 11.04 64bit, both in Skype and cheese, but the web-camera (in my case it is also Creative live! model VF0220, 041e:4053) starts to show the image in skype with delay about 20-30 seconds! Whereas the same trick in Ubuntu 8.10 provided normal work of web-camera. Has anyone some ideas how to treat this disease?
