Bug#573269: gstreamer-properties creates "registry.x86_64.bin"

[Hans Bausewein]

On my amd64 Debian/testing (squeeze) running gstreamer-properties creates
a file "registry.x86_64.bin" in the .gstreamer-0.10 directory.

After that Pidgin runs fine.

When I remove that file and restart Pidgin it crashes.
Running "gstreamer-properties" again creates the file again and Pidgin
runs well.

Please either:

- run with --gst-disable-segtrap and debug.
