I see the same behavior on lucid (final release). This is very annoying because 
gstreamer-properties is the only place where one can adjust the audio/video 
settings for the webcam feature of pidgin.
See 
http://developer.pidgin.im/wiki/Using%20Pidgin#HowdoIconfiguremymicrophonewebcam

It seems that some properties are saved, but not all : I had the problem
when setting a custom pipeline for the default video input.

Steps to reproduce :
- open gstreamer-properties
- go to the video tab
- in the default input, choose customized, and put a custom pipeline like the 
following :
v4l2src device="/dev/video0" ! video/x-raw-yuv,width=320,height=240
- click on test : you can see that the custom pipeline is correctly used
- click on close
- open gstreamer-properties again
- go to the video tab : the custom pipeline has disappeared, and went back to 
v4l2 (in my case)

Is there any workaround to adjust the video settings of a webcam, so
that they are used by pidgin?
