Essentially, I have no way to tell what command line I am sending to piave, 
and it is a bit of a black art to get things working at the moment.

For instance, if I send the commandline "-f rgb", piave doesn't like it, but 
it works if I send "-frgb". Sometimes I have to add spaces at the end of one 
argument, or put a space at the beginning of an argument before it will work.

The problem is - I have no way to tell if it is piave that is parsing it 
incorrectly, or if it is kdenlive that is sending the wrong commandline. The 
KProcess class I use to launch piave does not give me a method to find out 
what arguments I have sent, and is very ambiguous over what it considers to 
be a "command line argument." in the first place.

Cheers,
Jason
