Works very nicely :-)

I have been wondering for a while though on what to do with mouse events, 
drag'n'drop requests, (and mouse wheel events) that occur over the video 
window. I really don't think it is piave's place to handle them, since that 
breaks the UI/render seperation that we have so far kept.

I am going to look into how X handles various events - I assume that it is 
fairly easy to tell X to pass them directly to the parent window, so that 
kdenlive can handle them without using VEML, which I don't consider to be a 
very elegant solution for mouse events.

What I am saying is that for the moment, the mouse wheel support is fine, but 
when I figure out the best way to do it, all mouse/drag events should be 
dropped directly to kdenlive, which knows how to handle them much more 
generally - think for instance, arranging a picture-on-picture effect by 
dragging around the picture around in the movie window.

Cheers,
Jason
