That question doesn't have anything to do with GStreamer. You have to
configure the shell accordingly, or use a UI toolkit to do that for you
and embed the videosink inside the UI in one way or another.

By default imxg2dvideosink just draws on the framebuffer, you'll have
to make sure that there's nothing else using the framebuffer in ways
you don't want.
