OK, just to deal quickly with a couple of things before I go to work

Do you ever see the main openshot window open? It really sounds as
though the X server is crashing for some reason.

Have you changed the BIOS battery since the power outage that you
mention? It sounds as though your BIOS settings are corrupted. It's
possible that the non-volatile RAM that the BIOS keeps its settings in
has been damaged but I hope not as you'd have to replace the
motherboard.

Look in the motherboard manual for a jumper labelled clock reset or
NVRAM reset. Normally you need to push a header over two pins on the
motherboard for a few seconds to disconnect the battery and clear the
NVRAM completely. Usually it's a three pin header where "normal"
operation has two of the pins linked (e.g 1&2) and you then move the
header to the other pair (eg 2&3) to clear the NVRAM.

running openshot in gdb:

gdb will look for openshot.py in the current directory - you'll have
openshot.py in the development tree but if you just have the installed
version of openshot you won't have this file. However you should still
be able to run openshot in gdb

type the command "which openshot"  - note the result
run gdb
$ gdb /usr/bin/python
in gdb start python with the path to the openshot script
(gdb) run <path-to-openshot-found-earlier>


You mention that openshot was working OK before the power outage/scrambled system. Did you do anything to change the openshot set-up after the power problem but before you noticed openshot crashing.

I must admit that coming to the conclusion that a previously working
program, which no-longer works after a power outage that  seriously
scrambled your computer, is failing due to bugs in the program is not
how I'd interpret things. Given that sequence I'd assume that I still
had hardware problems of some sort, even if the rest of the system
appeared OK.
