Gnome-settings-daemon failed. Clock applet failed. ...

All fail on the same problem:
libgstreamer-0.10.so.0 not found.

After adding Packman, gstreamer libraries are moved to /opt/gnome. It's
OK for RPM solver, but fatal for glibc - glibc in 10.3 does not search
for libraries in /opt/gnome/lib.

The problem is the fact, that each 10.3 gstreamer010-plugins-* RPM
package requires exact version of gstreamer - the one it was compiled
with.

It means, that you cannot update gstreamer010 without breaking RPM
dependencies of gstreamer010-plugins-* packages - you must update the
whole gstreamer set at once.

It is easy to do, only if all Packman version-release numbers are higher
than SuSE ones.
