I'm experiencing the same problem and it began yesterday while I was
using Openshot. I was working on a video when Openshot either crashed
(it has crashed before so that wasn't too odd) or it was acting funny
and I closed it myself (I can't remember which one happened as I had
been using Openshot all day) and when I immediately reloaded I started
received this error.

I have tried all the suggestions on the various bug reports and I have
tried a ppa install, deb install and wizard install and all result in
the same error (however, the wizard install resulted in a error message
that did not include the line "A new frmMain has been created" while the
others did). I'm running Ubuntu 10.04.

The only thing I can think of that changed during the time that I was
using Openshot fine and it started seg faulting is that I did a package
update, I don't know if this is helpful but here is the list of changes
from Synaptic history (Gimp shows up because I had just added a ppa to
get version 2.7):

Removed the following packages:
python-docky

Bug description:
Using Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 64 bit, 2.6.32-22 and Openshot 1.1.3 (latest in the PPA)

I've installed openshot from the PPA and from http://launchpad.net/openshot/1.1/1.1.3/+download/openshot_1.1.3-1_all.deb (from openshots page here on launchpad). I have not tried the build wizard which seems to be up to 1.0.6 only.

Starting Openshot from the terminal this is all I see: 
--------------------------------
   OpenShot (version 1.1.3)
--------------------------------
Process no longer exists: 3343.  Creating new pid lock file.
A new frmMain has been created
Segmentation fault

before being returned to a prompt. It is possible this started occurring with an update from VLC. Openshot used to start before with the same version from PPA.

In openshot.debug file it says something about not finding python-mlt (though python-mlt2 is there) but python-mlt is not found in lucids repo's that I can see. I've attached openshot.debug
