Xpra: Ticket #1023: Mac OS X: dyld: Library not loaded: libgstreamer.dylib

Could not start Xpra on a Mac. Reproduces on at least one more Mac nearby. I've been using manually compiled Xpra for quite some time. Today I've tried to use Xpra.dmg and it does not start.

I can confirm that when I download Xpra.dmg (verified versions 0.14.18, 0.14.29 and 0.14.head) and try to run Xpra from the binary directory from the command line I see errors on OS X 10.11.1 (15B42).

Here is an example of an output:

$ ~/Applications/Xpra.app/Contents/MacOS/Xpra attach ssh:timothy:100
** (Xpra:13573): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GMountMountFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'
** (Xpra:13573): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GDriveStartFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'
** (Xpra:13573): WARNING **: Trying to register gtype 'GSocketMsgFlags' as enum when in fact it is of type 'GFlags'
2015-11-04 16:24:38,494 xpra client version 0.14.18

  Referenced from: /Users/timofeyb/Applications/Xpra.app/Contents/Helpers/gst-plugin-scanner
  Reason: image not found

At this point it hangs and could not be killed by C.

At the same time manually built version works (as of version 0.14.29).
