The Logitech Quickcam 4000 cannot preview with Belkin F5U233-APL USB Hub connected. But, Gstreamer properties is able to preview properly without USB Hub connected. The Gstreamer properties shows error message as below: " Video for Linux 2 (v4l2): no element "null" " The problem is also observed on the all resolutions. I used Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS x64 OS to duplicate this issue.
Why do you belive a not working USB hub is a gstreamer problem? You can run "lsusb" in a terminal with and without the hub to check if the usb-stack recognises the camera. If the camera is there you can try "v4l-info" (from v4lutils package) to check if the kernel driver recognises your webcam.
