This is related to the slew of messages regarding netscape et al not working.
xvidtune is looking in /usr/i486-linuxlibc1 for the app-defaults directory
and not finding it (probably cause /usr/i486-linuxlibc1 doesn't exist).  This
only happens with the latest xlib6g (read unstable) so, as has been said
before, you should subscribe to debian-devel :)

My fix was:

ln -s /usr/X11R6 /usr/i486-linuxlibc1

I don't know if the use of /usr/i486-linuxlibc1 was intentional and haven't filed a bug on it, however the only package *I* see that includes
/usr/i486-linuxlibc1 is lesstif (the libc5 comaptibile relation to lesstifg)
