The fact that it crashes was also a cairo bug, see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599574#c8 and it was fixed in
cairo git. With the cairo patch and with no openshot change, openshot
starts up fine too. And I have no idea whether what openshot is doing is
a bug or not :-/

Bug description:
I'm providing the Mandriva package for openshot.

Although openshot works fine in latest stable Mandriva 2010 edition, the latest developpment edition known as "cooker" for the future 2010 Spring exhibits an openshot crash at the beginning.

The only reason is the migration from cairo 1.8.10 to 1.9.6 (dev branch).

I have provided a complete description of the version/os and a backtrace on mandriva's bugzilla (https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=57815).

The package (rpm) is provided by the distribution (openshot-1.1.1-1mdv2010.1.src.rpm), the distribution is Mandriva Linux 2010 Spring edition (cooker), and openshot is at version 1.1.1 (the same crash appeared with version 1.0 and 1.1).

Just to let you know upstream cairo needs adjustments for openshot (i'm not sure if cairo or openshot is at fault there).

Let me know if you need more info (and great work for giving us another good video editor !).
