1.2b3 can't access camera

[David Evans]

I did install the recent security update. Running 10.5.2.

I navigated into /Library/Application Suport/IOXperts/Private and ran  
ioxdeviced and ioxsessiond. One of them, not sure which, turned off  
the green light on the cam and now it works :-)

I see this error in system.log:

Mar 21 15:02:59 localhost com.apple.launchd[1]  
(com.ioxperts.ioxdeviced.1.1): Unknown key: ServiceDescription
