Bug#565541: on startup and by doing so takes down whole X session

[Soeren Sonnenburg]

Package: gnome-settings-daemon
Version: 2.28.1-2
Severity: normal

OK, I've found the culprit:

It is actually enough to rename/remove
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstfrei0r.so

then gnome-settings-daemon will start again.

So the problem is in gst-plugings-bad and looking at gst-plugins-bad git
log one will find a patch for this
