Here is the idea:

For effects that crash, I created a "blacklisted_effects.txt" text file. 
Kdenlive will parse that file on startup and hide all effects that are in it 
(will do the same for transitions).

For Frei0r effects that crash because of invalid min or may values, we can 
easily create xml files that define these values, like it is currently handled 
for MLT effects (see effects/ subfolder). This xml info will override the 
effect data if the original effect is blacklisted.

I have just done that for the frei0r squareblur effect, so if you know of some 
effects that crash because of invalid values, let me know the valid range and 
we can easily fix it.

That way, it will be easy for testers to enable / disable an effect: just edit 
the "blacklisted_effects.txt" located in install dir/share/apps/kdenlive.
