Bug Description

I recorded a profile picture using the webcam. Mugshot seems to be unable to store the profile picture at "~/.face".

When running "mugshot -vv", selecting the recorded webcam image causes apport to pop up.

Users cannot record their own profile picture using the application and their webcam.
