I upgraded gstreamer0.10-0 to 0.10.36-1.2 and that seems to have fixed
the problem I was experiencing (no crash, no UI, CPU spinning, gradual
mallocing).

On first invocation since installing gstreamer0.10-0 cheese started up,
drew its UI, displayed the output of my webcam and then segfaulted. I
didn't catch a core, and I didn't have debug symbols installed (I tried
the packaged cheese rather than a rebuilt one with nostrip). On
second invocation, it seems to be working fine.

Thanks all for your work.

If anyone cares about the warning (I still get it), clone this bug to
track. I'd suggest waiting a short while to see whether the filer gets
back to us, if not, let's assume I was experiencing the same issue as
he was and mark resolved.
