Comment 2 Bastien Nocera 2012-04-07 12:02:05 UTC 
Clutter crashes because of some bug in nouveau, or llvmpipe. Can't do anything about it here I'm afraid, please file a bug with your distro.

As you can see there is a link in a description. this means we started to discuss it in our distro's tracker.
But you are wrong about nouveau problem is also found with ati card.

Then it's a problem with llvmpipe or its usage. In any case, not something that Totem can help fix.

Slip of the tongue. Totem suffered from similar crashes, as it uses clutter-gst just like the Avatar capture code in the user accounts panel (using libcheese).

Thanks for the hint, Bastien.

It is indeed possible to workaround this by compiling gnome-control-center with --without-cheese, or -if you don't want to rebuild the package- disabling the full user accounts panel by doing 
 chmod 0 /usr/lib/control-center-1/panels/libuser-accounts.so
Comment 10 Ionut Biru 2012-05-06 20:11:44 UTC 
sadly, there is NO way to compile g-c-c without cheese.

--with-cheese=no actually.
