This isn't fixed/released afaict, and the workaround doesn't function anymore.
Oddly, this was functional on Friday, it's only having done an apt-get upgrade that this has resurfaced. clockwerx@clockwerx-laptop:~/uofa/res_prof$ sudo apt-get install gstreamer-tools Reading package lists...

This probably reflects a bug in the program. The error was 'BadRequest (invalid request code or no such operation)'.

To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
