Its a start. We need (at least) also the following debuginfo packages.
So a 'yum install -y gstreamer-debuginfo
gstreamer-plugins-base-debuginfo gstreamer-debuginfo glib2-debuginfo
totem-pl-parser-debuginfo glibc-debuginfo gtk2-debuginfo
libX11-debuginfo xorg-x11-server-debuginfo'

That should fill out the rest of the debuginfo to make the back trace
more useful.
