I'll bow to your experience here, as I've only used Kdenlive for simple
things. But the only crashes I've experienced have been when trying to
open a second project without restarting Kdenlive first.

How so? They are working in peace and harmony here; I just had to
install another package in order to get FFMPEG to read the sound from
VOB files. The FFMPEG in Medibuntu Gutsy is awesome. I haven't tried
Compiz Fusion with Kdenlive but the Compiz that comes with Gutsy works
fine.
