Preventing Kdenlive from logging to system logs

[François Téchené]

Thank you so much Vincent, that was very helpful!

I built Kdenlive from source with "CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release" and it
works great now. The rotoscoping tool feels so fast and lightweight
after the change! I wonder if other parts of my workflow will be
improved from that?

Anyway, it's a real pleasure to work with Kdenlive.

Thank you so much for the great work!

Cheers,

François
