[Shotwell] shotwell wrong event dates + ubuntu 10.04

[Valentín]

Hi all!

I'm using Shotwell compiled from Git in Linux Mint 10 (based on Ubuntu
10.10) and I had the same problem with GStreamer. To solve it I simply added
this PPA [1] and installed GStreamer from it. Note that that is a PPA for
developers, so it could break your system —I didn't notice any change since
I installed it, but I watch all clips using VLC, so don't trust me here...

Hope to help. Cheers!!
