That's strange, swfedec and gnash should need the same gstreamer setup.

Once again there are the same dependencies on gtk. And in fact the gnash
executable shipped in fedora in the gnash package is even called gtk-gnash.

As a side note, gnash has potentially a better kde integration, though
it is broken currently because of the switch to kde4. swfdec has a
thumbnailer support for gnome.
