Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-settings-daemon

after upgrading intrepid to jaunty i had a problem starting gnome-settings-daemon.
also i had a error message on starting System->Preferences->Appereance.

on starting gnome-settings-daemon in the terminal:
:~$ gnome-settings-daemon --no-daemon --debug
...
ERROR: Caught a segmentation fault while loading plugin file:
/usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstffmpeg.so

version of gstreamer:
:~$ apt-cache policy gstreamer0.10-plugins-base
gstreamer0.10-plugins-base
  Installed: 0.10.22-5
  Candidate: 0.10.22-5
  Version table:
 *** 0.10.22-5 0
        500 http://at.archive.ubuntu.com jaunty/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

could not start pidgin. maybe some other applications too.

what i did for a workaround:
uninstall gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg (0.10.6.2-1ubuntu2)

what is libavcodec1d and where did you get it? does uninstalling it makes a difference?

affects: gnome-settings-daemon (Ubuntu) → gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg (Ubuntu)

libavcodec1d is still installed after removing gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg and it makes no problems.

removing libavcodec1d also removes openmovieeditor

and after removing it there is no difference on starting gnome-settings-daemon. same error.
