Galaxium fails to start with some Video Input Devices

[GoogleCodeExporter]

galaxium in svn is pretty sick. look:

(Galaxium.Startup:7182): GStreamer-CRITICAL **: Failed to deactivate pad
source:src, very bad

after that I expected tray icon to appear, but nothin happened...

maybe because galaxium thinks my tv card is a webcam.

problem appear probably because tvtime (a tv viewer) was running when I
started galaxium in terminal.

paul do you think this has merrit in terms of GStreamer and webcam stuff?

I don't know to be honest, I wouldn't have expected GStreamer to cause the app 
to
terminate, but does consistently it run without tvtime running and break when 
tvtime
is running?

yep. tvtime doesn't use gst and uses tv card directly, blocking gstreamer 
access to
the device.

OK. So all I can think is perhaps we could do something along the lines of the 
fuser
command to check if a device is in use before we try to use it.

We need a more descriptive title for this. "wont start" is inaccurate.
