vala

How would I use gstreamer to stitch a set of images together to form a video slideshow.

I'd like to take a set of images and a sound track and use that to form a basic video slideshow using gstreamer.

Based on what I've learned from Vala tutorials both weak and unowned references are not counted, and when the real instance goes out of scope they will refer to null(!!).

GTK+ application specific skin possible?
