Reason for closing:  Works for me
Additional comments about closing:  Icon theme issue was fixed with GNOME 3.14, can't reproduce other errors.

Works fine here, even after removing all gstreamer plugins which are not in the dependency description for cheese. Is your system completely updated, including gst-* packages?

@Jan Its a totally fresh install of Arch. So I would assume so.

Looks like at least gnome-icon-theme-symbolic is missing, but besides that I have no idea what could be wrong.
