I have Mint Linux (Ubuntu) also installed so I tried there and I got
Kdenlive to compile but it crashes on every command I tried. It
imports files but it crashes if I try to do anything with them :(
I don't understand how Dan Sawyer could claim that it is rock solid :(
But still it could be my error in compiling some part and it still
would be great to see kdenlive as a package in rpmfusion
repositories...
I'll drop them a note.

Cheers,
Valent.
