This is a GARNOME-semi-specific issue -- because we install all of our
configuration files to a separate prefix (ie. not /etc) -- running
gst-register from a system account will find no information to update.

You have to run gst-register as the individual user you built GARNOME
as, purely to get access to the relevant configuration/gconf data.

In GARNOME though, it only happens when you build one of the
GStreamer-related packages.
