I got google-voice working in ubuntu under Gnome. But for some reason when I log into my WM, Xmonad, google voice doesn't recognize my webcam.
Do I need to run some daemon or app along with my WM to get google-voice to work?

Probably not. I was struggling with the same problem (I use openbox), then ran across this thread:

You can try downgrading to 3.7:
Temp fix is to roll back to Google Talk v3.7.1.0-1
Ubuntu 64-bit http://dl.google.com/linux/talkplugin/deb/pool/main/g/google-talkplugin/google-talkplugin_3.7.1.0-1_amd64.deb
Ubuntu 32-bit http://dl.google.com/linux/talkplugin/deb/pool/main/g/google-talkplugin/google-talkplugin_3.7.1.0-1_i386.deb
Worked like a charm.

1Have you checked the list of processes when in GNOME vs the list of processes when in xmonad? Run something like
pstree -acorps -axwhen in GNOME and do the same when in xmonad, then compare the outputs with something likediff file1 file2– user49740 – 2012-06-07T16:02:49.193That might help diagnose the problem, but Ubuntu loads a bunch of crap and I'd have to google each one to see what's important. – TheOne – 2012-06-08T03:01:05.980
You should add the
