The problem will be that GStreamer is using the GStreamer.framework,
which includes its own version of GLib and GTK+ uses it's own other
version of GLib from e.g. /usr/local/lib

As libraries on OSX are linked with the complete path, this causes two
versions of GLib to be in memory in the end and that causes the
conflicts.

Building GStreamer manually from source like you did for GTK+ will help,
or building GTK+ against the GLib version (and Pango and others)
provided by the GStreamer.framework.
