Woohoo! Tried it, it's working great!

Whilst piave should be tolerant to them (since we are working with doubles 
rather than integers), if you come across any glaringly obvious bugs then let 
me know.

I know of one case at the moment - if you put a clip on the timeline, turn 
"snap to frame" off and move the clip slightly, turning "snap to frame" back 
on will not let you align the clip back to a frame border.

I notice that even if installed, piave needs to be started from the /piave 
directory, otherwise it gives the following message :

kdenserver.cc:403 WARNING: window not resizable
kdenserver.cc:419 WARNING: Can't find "resources/piave_logo_2.png"
kdenserver.cc:337 WARNING: VEML command didn't return ok

and doesn't create a video window (or creates a video window and exits 
immediately?) Or does something it's not supposed to anyway ;-)

Cheers,
Jason
