Hi Tony, I just double checked this latest version of KDENLIVE, and contary to my belief below, it IS still possible to edit the start/stop of video clips within the latest kdenlive-0.6.0-0.pm.svn20071227.i586. But it must be done from the time line on the actual Track, as opposed to the older method of editing in the Clip Monitor.
However I see no means of restoring the lost functionality of the "speed" effect.
