#16224: Pidgin crashes when gstreamer-0.10/registry.bin is missing
----------------------+--------------------------

----------------------+--------------------------
When the gstreamer-0.10/registry.bin is deleted/missing (when the pidgin
is first started and registry.bin was not created by other GStreamer
applications), pidgin would crash with a segfault. During this crash, a
registry.bin file is created, so the next invocation of pidgin would start
normally. This happens with all plugins disabled.
On Fedora 20 x86_64.
A proposed patch was also included, simply calling "gst_init" in
pidgin/pidgin.c before "pidgin_start" seems to resolve this issue.
