It's not a bug, afaik. After calling QGst::cleanup() (i.e.
gst_deinit()), you cannot use GStreamer anymore. This method is
intended to be used to cleanup when you exit your application, just to
avoid showing possible leaks in memory profilers like valgrind. You
normally don't need to call it at all.

Doesn't it show anything on stderr?
