I'm debugging with QtCreator (open the CMakeLists.txt in the kdenlive 
folder, compile and run in debug mode); uses gdb too, but has a way 
better interface.
KDevelop should do the job too.
The CMake argument -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debug tells CMake to use debug 
flags (-g). Sometimes it is necessary to also use -O0 manually since 
stuff gets optimized away and variable values are not visible anymore.
