+Subject: [PATCH] Fix wrong "isProcess" logic
+
+Stopmotion wrongly thinks that uvccapture should be run as a daemon,
+even though configuration for uvccapture has no "daemon-like" command
+line to be run (according to "preferences"). The result is an error
+popup instead of video/image grabbing.
+
+This brings back the "isProcess" logic that was in stopmotion v0.7.2,
+because it seems to work, while the current logic (v0.8.0) seems to
+fail.
