Bug description:
  Binary package hint: chromium-browser

  chromium-browser with gecko-mediaplayer hangs randomly on KDE unless
  gecko-mediaplayer is rebuilt with --without-gconf

  See http://code.google.com/p/gecko-mediaplayer/issues/detail?id=64 and
  http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=24507

  Having installed http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/daily-live/20100323
  /lucid-desktop-i386.iso in Sun VirtualBox 3.1.4 I installed chromium-
  browser 5.0.307.11~r39572-0ubuntu1 and gecko-mediaplayer 0.9.9.2-1
  using KPackageKit.

  On the first start of chromium I've got a message saying that the page
  "Getting started with Google Chrome" became unresponsive. I was not
  able to reproduce that, but in a while I got the same message for
  "http://code.google.com/chromium/";, this time I didn't press any
  button and the page loaded in a minute. I'm unable to reproduce it
  again.

  Rebuilding manually gecko-mediaplayer with --without-gconf had fixed
  the same issue for me in Karmic.

  May be it's possible to have gecko-mediaplayer built with --without-
  gconf in multiverse for Lucid?
