user-accounts: Fix crash when built with cheese support (1.08 KB, patch)

Description Giovanni Campagna 2012-12-27 02:30:06 UTC 
The user-accounts panel requires GStreamer through cheese, and segfaults
if it is not initialized.

Comment 2 Rui Matos 2012-12-27 19:02:20 UTC 
Can we initialize gstreamer on that panel's init method instead so as to not unnecessarily delay our launch time?
Comment 3 Giovanni Campagna 2012-12-27 19:11:20 UTC 
Uhm... Is gst_init() doing sync IO? It should only mmap the registry and load base plugins.
Also, it is better to delay panel construction or control center startup? I'd say the latter, because it is covered by startup notification, while the former has no form of feedback while happening.

We need to initialise clutter as well actually.

The cheese support needs clutter, GStreamer and clutter-gst initialised.
Call cheese_gtk_init() for that.
