Hi,
After trying to find where the problem could come from, GStreamer
started working fine again, but I'm not sure why. I suspect there was
some bad local state in my user environment that I reset while hacking
around, or something like that...
Anyway, concerning 'cheese', I think not installing it by default with
Gnome would not be a problem. It's not an essential core component of
Gnome and users who want it will still be able to install it trivially.
