Thanks for reviewing this


No comment = mostly agreed, will be changed :)

That's really weird. I'm really remember i added this since i was 
getting an error
here, but now it seems to work :p.

It would make sense, but actually the reason of having the xlib capture
is mostly that ximagesrc still unable to handle runtime resolution change
(And i still wonder if it may be possible to workaround it somehow by
sending eos and restart the stream or similar ).
So hopefully this part of the code will be dropped :p

It was a static string, but found it is more convenience to add numbers 
if needed (e.g. fps) .

Ok, actually now looking I'm not sure it could be null.. will do 
differently.

Yes, was mentioned before, missed it.

Debugging the application with gstreamer tools will shed more light on
the problem, not sure it can be extracted somehow and to be added to our 
error msgs.

It's in addition to the other check which is few rows after.
