With preferences, they _can't_ mess up their configuration. I agree that 
settings (which can mess up the computer) would need to be handled by 
the sysadmin. I fail to see how you can mess up a gstreamer 
_configuration_ though.

Here are the run-time dependencies for gconf:
$ apt-cache show libgconf11 | grep Depends
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.3-1), libdb3 (>= 3.2.9-1), libglib1.2 (>= 1.2.0),
libgtk1.2 (>= 1.2.10-1), liboaf0 (>= 0.6.5), liborbit0 (>= 0.5.8),
libxml1, oaf (>= 0.6.5), xlibs (>> 4.0.3), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.3)

OAF and Orbit in there...

Guess you were wrong ;)
