Distribution/Version: Ubuntu/Hoary

We got this from an Ubuntu user (see
https://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=8832):

I have a Kodak DC290 camera that is fairly well supported by the gphoto2
library, which I assume that the hotplug camera importing utility is using. Here
is a printout of the support that the DC290 has in gphoto2:

~$ gphoto2 --camera "Kodak DC290" -a

Abilities for camera             : Kodak DC290
Serial port support              : yes
USB support                      : yes
Transfer speeds supported        :
                                 : 9600
                                 : 19200
                                 : 38400
                                 : 57600
                                 : 115200
Capture choices                  :
                                 : Capture not supported by the driver
Configuration support            : no
Delete files on camera support   : yes
File preview (thumbnail) support : yes
File upload support              : no

Everything is supported except for file upload and configuration, both of which
I would expect should be required to simply import my photos using the hotplug
utility.

Here's the exact problem I am getting when I plug in the camera:

Warning: Import photos fram camera?
<click on "Import Photos">
Import Photos:
Destination: </home/cmcgee/PICS>
Keep original filenames <check>
...
Error: "The filesystem doesn't support getting file information"

The import button isn't greyed-out with the error, which I would expect. But
most importantly, I get the error, which prevents me from importing the
pictures. I did a quick google search and the exact error text appears to be
from gphoto2 but I know that I can use gtkam with the camera and import the
photos into my pictures directory.

As a workaround I just use gtkam but it would be nice to use out-of-the-box
Ubuntu GNOME stuff with hotplug support.
