Re: [tlug] kdenlive not opening

[Bernie Innocenti <bernie@example.com>]

Desktop apps often refuse to open when another instance is still 
running. It might have closed all its windows, but the process is hung 
on dbus or something.

This is one of many issues which is magically cured by a reboot, but you 
can also use "pgrep -l kdenlive" to confirm my theory and then "pkill 
kdenlive" or even "pkill -9 kdenlive" to get rid of it.

By the way, is your experience with Kdenlive generally positive? Which 
version? Every time I tried doing some video editing on Linux I ran into 
bugs, but I know the KDE devs have been hard at work to improve overall 
stability and usability of their desktop and apps.
