Ok I just found Xterm and tried some tests.

Using "gconfedit -t bool -s /system/osso/af/camera-is-out " I get true when the camera is out and false when camera is in. Looks like the N800 knows what position the camera is in.

But is won't start up the application when it is popped out.

Here are the results from "cameratest"

$ cameratest

Does this give anyone some more insite into the issue?
