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.
