The reason is GIMP. This PPA contains the most recent build of it, but
unfortunately also the latest build of cairo, with which OpenShot is not
compatible yet. Or at least there is some other kind of conflict between
the two. I still think the problem is on OpenShot's side, but feel free
to prove me otherwise, because this is just my logic, no programming
skills here.

Status in OpenShot Video Editor: Confirmed

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
