[kdenlive] Consider new default layout?

[Jesse DuBord]

@Massimo, Those are some great layouts. I actually changed my Adobe 
Premiere layout to match yours. :)

A while back, I'd purposed in a wishlist bug report 
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359247) to consider setting 
pre-set layouts out of the box with Kdenlive, matching similar Industry 
video editors, but also allowing for custom layouts. That's a little off 
topic from my OP, but I thought it'd be related.

Does anyone else believe the default layout could be improved? If so, 
any ideas to improve it?
