Comment 9 for bug 456530

I was getting same errors for pidgin, empathy and totem but only after I updated to the RC. Had no problems in beta. Once I removed frei0r-plugins, all 3 worked again.

This is the errors I had:
nobby@nobby:~$ pidgin
Illegal instruction (core dumped)
nobby@nobby:~$ empathy
Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal
Run 'empathy --help' to see a full list of available command line options.

(empathy:6327): empathy-WARNING **: Error in empathy init: Error re-scanning registry , child terminated by signal
nobby@nobby:~$ totem

Run 'totem --help' to see a full list of available command line options.
