For anyone out there who still has this problem, could you try the following test and tell me what happens?

1. You'll need to have gphoto2 installed. To get it, run this:

$ sudo apt-get install gphoto2

2. Run this command:

$ gphoto2 --auto-detect

3. When it completes, run it again. Try doing this a few times, waiting a second or two between each run.

4. While it's scanning your system, try moving the mouse.

Essentially, I'm interested in knowing if you see the same kind of problem you see while running Shotwell.

If you could tell me (a) how long it takes for the command to complete and (b) what version of gphoto2 you're running:

$ gphoto2 --version

that would be helpful as well.
