You would never have seen kdenlive using QProcess, I never committed it to 
cvs. Kdenlive 0.2.0 uses KProcess.

I think that might be the issue here - I'll see if I can find out which 
modifications and bug fixes have happened since KDE 3.0.0 to see if this is a 
known issue.

It could be the network connection, but you said that when you remove kprocess 
out of the loop (i.e., start all three processes from the terminal), kdenlive 
runs without freezing? This makes me think the problem is not network based 
unless it is some strange interaction between kprocess and qsocket.

The fact that it kills your computer is also very suspicious - I don't do 
anything that low level ;-)
