So I did

    $ apt-get dist-upgrade

It didn't fix kdenlive, but I have more clues
to report...


    1.) kdenlive issued a few warnings at the
        command line:

            Invalid playlist
            Removing cache at "/home/kingsley/.cache/kdenlive-thumbs.kcache"
            Invalid playlist
            QCursor: Cannot create bitmap cursor; invalid bitmap(s)
            ALSA lib pulse.c:243:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: 
Protocol error

            QXcbConnection: XCB error: 8 (BadMatch), sequence: 936, resource 
id: 35651614, major code: 155 (Unknown), minor code: 11
            The X11 connection broke: I/O error (code 1)
            XIO:  fatal IO error 0 (Success) on X server ":0"
                  after 979 requests (979 known processed) with 0 events 
remaining.


    2.) other people seem to have encountered
        this, or a similar, bug

            https://bugs.kde.org/346413

            https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=351730


    3.) it might be related to Qt5

        https://kdenlive.org/ says

            "There are a few issues/crashes in
            Kdenlive related to Qt5/KF5 bugs"

        and lines #33 through #38 in my stack
        trace above seem to involve libQt5 code.


I wish I didn't feel the need to mention this, but
at least for me, version 15.08.2+git20151026-1 is
unusable.

Please feel free to let me know if you have any
suggestions.

Thanks,
Kingsley
