Yes, I also thought about creating a Kdenlive consumer, but it seems a lot of 
work & not sure I can manage it correctly...

Done. You now have a checkbox in the Settings dialog (Display tab) that allows 
to switch between SDL and OpenGL, but requires to restart Kdenlive to be 
applied. Please test, I know the performance is not great but still it's 
really enjoyable to have a fullscreen video display in Kdenlive (just double 
click on the monitor to go fullscreen).
