Title:
  Openshot does not start on Ubuntu 14.04

Status in OpenShot Video Editor:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I had to upgrade to Ubuntu 14.04 due to other reasons but now openshot
  won't start any more. I get the following error message:

  --------------------------------
     OpenShot (version 1.4.4~alpha1)
  --------------------------------
  Process no longer exists: 7379.  Creating new pid lock file.
  *** ERROR: MLT Python bindings failed to import ***

  OpenShot has failed to import some of the Python files or libraries 
  required for our application to run.  Here are some trouble shooting
  tips:

  Tip 1) Check if MLT can be successfully imported in Python.  Run the 
   following commands, and see if any errors are displayed.  If you get 
   an error, you need to investigate the correct way to install MLT.
   NOTE:  Do not type the $ or >> characters in the examples below.

         $ python
         >> import mlt
         >> mlt.Factory().init()

  Tip 2) If MLT is working from the first example, then the next tip is 
   to look at the above error messages very closely, and google for more 
   help.  It's likely the problem is already reported, and maybe there is
   a simple work-around.  Also, you can search for bugs or report a new 
   bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/openshot.  Good luck!
   
  Using the proposed commands does not work:

  $ python
  Python 2.7.6 (default, Mar 22 2014, 22:59:56) 
  [GCC 4.8.2] on linux2
  Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
  >>> import mlt
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  ImportError: No module named mlt

  MLT 0.8.8 is installed:

  $ melt --version
  melt 0.8.8
