Sorry, I was on vacation.

I was pretty sure that the gst.Element subclass code path was tested through a
unittest. That needs to be added, to avoid breaking this again.

Now, one way of solving it is to do something like:

  def __call__(cls, *args, **kwargs):
      if cls == gst.Element:
         # new fancy constructor path
         return

      # just instantiate the object, so g_object_new() works

Fun fun fun!
