Just a note to say I'm on the trail of the problem. It's a result of my
various relative path changes. As I suspected, there are a few that I've
either missed or not actually thought about when blindly converting the
original code.

In this case video.py was joining (BASE_DIR, "westley.xml") instead of
(USER_DIR, "westley.xml").

I've got past the SEGFAULT now and the application is still executing
but the GUI is blank (aside from a large white square top-left of the
window which I presume is the video preview canvas).

Probably a few more similar oversights to fix yet.

I'll look at the path changes carefully now since my aim is to have
absolute file paths passed down the call change from as early in the
code as possible to save re-evaulating, but without sacrificing the
benefits of relative paths resolved at use-time where appropriate.
