this is the refactoring branch:

i am a heavy user of kdenlive-git from aur, thanks :D

maybe you could install the refactoring branch in /opt and have the
provides parameter in the pkgbuild use something like kdenlive-refactor,
that way we'll be able to test it without removing the main version.

that is the idea actually, those 3 i posted are on the tracker, if you know
of other specific corruption issues post them here as well... we should
eventually have a bug squash for this.
