Erm, before I reply, did I just accept this message with a 450K log to be 
posted to everybody on the list? If I did, sorry.

The log does not say much except that piave cannot listen on it's port. This 
normally means that an instance of piave from a previous run of kdenlive is 
still running, or that an instance of piave has recently crashed (in which 
case it takes a minute or so for the port to free itself).

try doing :

kill -9 piave

wait a minute or two,

and then restart kdenlive.

In the meantime, I will persist the "ignore messages" setting in the debug 
window when exiting kdenlive so that we can get meaningful logs if something 
really is going wrong with piave on first connection.

Cheers,
Jason
