I know what you mean John. I have had this problem since about the 3rd 
of this month when I installed 10.10.    10.4 worked ok so I may go beck 
to it. I think I have a cd in the desk.  I am doing Video and have xp on 
my drive, I could use Premier but really would like to use Cinelerra in 
Linux.   I don't have any deadlines time wise on my video so I guess I 
will just wait it out.  Sometimes that's a price that has to be paid 
when using Linux.   Some kind of work around would be nice until the 
problem can be fixed though I am not likely savvy enough to use it.
