Well, I'm installing as root (do not bomb me :) and this means I have
proper paths set in environment when running gst-register (post-install
in gst-* package). The user which logs into GNOME has the same paths...

I have not explored this thoroughly, because running gst-register is a
good workaround and placing it into the session script would be enough
for working in multi-user environment, although I don't like it ;)

Yes, of course. But when I build Garnome, there are such packages.

I hope I will have some time these days to explore this thing.

Many thanks anyway and regards,
Ivan
