Hi Laura,
It seems a problem with your version of MLT. I am pretty sure. For resolve it( the line of the play-head which disappeared), you must update  at least your version of our Video Framework MLT at the 0.7.3. This  bug has been resolved with this version. The link of the Sunab repository is at the end of the section of Ubuntu below (in the list of dependencies).
And like you are here, check too all your dependencies, if it miss only one Openshot will freeze. For that see here : http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=758
And here the good version of MLT : http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=974
You have a screenshot of Synaptic which show you the good packed.
And you must use the version of FFmpeg which is in the Medibuntu repository. See here : http://openshotusers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=914
And the advice of Andy (FAQ 983 ) is also good. Do it.
Anyway, if you have yet a problem we are here. Keep the faith in the Open-source world. :-)
Olivier

Title:
  Program freezes and crashes at random

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  New

Bug description:
  My students have been using OpenShot on their Linux-based laptops to
  complete a movie for class.  Each group reported significant problems
  with the program crashing and/or freezing at random while trying to
  edit work and work not explicitly save is lost.  We are working on
  Ubuntu 11.04.  One student's program loses the read marker line in the
  tracks when he zooms in beyond two-minute increments.  Overall, my
  students are now turned off by opensource software and want to work on
  Macs and use iMovie.  Please help me restore faith in opensource.  I
  cannot find a reliable movie-making/movie-editing program for Linux!
