For me the diagnostic seems to be that Snapshot 47.beta prefers
libcamerasrc to other sources, and on Ubuntu 25.04 the packaged
gstreamer1.0-libcamera 0.4.0 lacks the "client-name" property Snapshot
expects, triggering the crash.

If I temporarily remove /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-
gnu/gstreamer-1.0/libgstlibcamera.so (and clear gstreamer plugin cache
in ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/registry*, snapshot starts working.

Put libgstlibcamera.so back, and snapshot is broken again.

The fix could be to update gstreamer1.0-libcamera so that it provides
the required property, or fix snapshot (or snapshot build) so that it
gracefully falls back to other sources (e.g. v4l2src) when there are no
required properties, or maybe fix it so that it works even when there is
no "client-name" property (not sure if it is possible though).
