Why is gconf recommended for gstreamer-plugins-good? I can't remember. Does it add any extra functionality? If it's just so Totem can build I it could be moved into the Optional deps with a note that it's required if building Totem. Personally, I install Gconf with --disable-introspection. I think there's a limit to how far we can bend the book to automate installing. At some point the user will need to look at their error, read ./configure --help and work out what to do for themselves.
