No; the registry is now per-user. I don't think changing the timestamp would trigger a re-read; it seems the registry keeps the file size of the plugin as well as what looks like a checksum: <filename>/home/lool/jhbuild-gnome-2.18/prefix/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstcoreelements.so</filename> <size>465834</size> <m32p>1172764917</m32p> <version>0.10.11.1</version> Basically, it's a cache, and it's currently not built around the assumption that the "uri_protocol"s supported by a plugin can change without the plugin changing. While it's an interesting problem WRT to updating this list, it's only a real life problem with http support which has been bugging us in plenty of apps since it's not supported by default anymore. I think it makes sense to revert this change and move back the http module to the default list of gnome-vfs-2.0 modules. -- Loïc Minier
