When should I send a starting seek?

[Mathieu Duponchelle]

At a low level, the usual solution is to preroll the pipeline, then once that is done send a flushing seek.

nleurisource can take care of this process for you, for instance:
gst-launch-1.0 nleurisource uri=file:///home/meh/Videos/the-great-gatsby-720p-trailer.mov inpoint=10000000000 duration=10000000000 caps="video/x-raw(ANY)" ! videoconvert ! autovideosink
Adapt to your use case as necessary :)
