Ok, I was able to do that and the change stuck I think.  However cheese still
gives the following error:

** Message: Probing the webcam, please ignore the following, not applicabable
tries
** Message: Error running pipeline 'v4l2src ! fakesink': Could not get buffers
from device '/dev/video0'. [v4l2src_calls.c(1025): gst_v4l2src_capture_init ():
/pipeline0/v4l2src0:
error requesting 0 buffers: Cannot allocate memory]
** Message: test pipeline for v4l2src failed:
[v4l2src ! fakesink]: Could not get buffers from device '/dev/video0'.
** Message: Error running pipeline 'v4lsrc !
video/x-raw-rgb,width=640,height=480 ! fakesink': Could not get/set settings
from/on resource. [v4l_calls.c(409): gst_v4l_set_chan_norm ():
/pipeline1/v4lsrc0:
Error setting the channel/norm settings: Invalid argument]

I guess cheese is not actually looking at that gconf setting and is just
running "v4l2src ! fakesink" ... This behavior doesn't seem easy to fix at the
moment without patching the code.  Oh well.  Thanks for your help.
